I heard that he had passed away
So faithful and true
The legacy and family
In the prime of his years
She trembled at the foot of the stairs
Imprisoned in a chair
All the tears and all the prayers
Yet she's still there
If I never know why
As I wait on this side
I'll never begin to understand
I surrender the fight
And questions of life
Into the palm of His hands
(Into the palm of His hands)
Into the palm of His hands
(Into the palm of his hands)
Separate one by one
A family left undone
Father, mother, daughter, son
A dream is broken
Repeat Chorus
Your ways are higher than mine
But it's just a matter of time
Til the answers are known
Will disappear
