What a word: glory

Sometimes I have these moments where I feel as if I know more of God's plan in my life and can realize the greatness of His work. Most of the time I'm lost - but I have glimpses of His sovereignty... and it overwhelms me in its incomprehensibility. His glory reigns o'er all the earth, yet it is so far above me. I feel like I'm at the bottom of the ocean looking up trying to see past the heavens to measure its magnitude. It is endless. It is beyond my eyesight and I am undone.

Here's a great song, that lends itself to the question of God's sovereignty and the contentment we must have in the face of multiple unanswered questions:


Whate’er my God ordains is right:
His holy will abideth;
I will be still whate’er He doth;
And follow where He guideth;
He is my God;
though dark my road,
He holds me that I shall not fall:
Wherefore to Him I leave it all.

Whate’er my God ordains is right:
He never will deceive me;
He leads me by the proper path:
I know He will not leave me.
I take, content, what He hath sent;
His hand can turn my griefs away,
And patiently I wait His day.

Whate’er my God ordains is right:
His loving thought attends me;
No poison can be in the cup
That my Physician sends me.
My God is true; each morn anew
I’ll trust His grace unending,
My life to Him commending.

Whate’er my God ordains is right:
He is my Friend and Father;
He suffers naught to do me harm,
Though many storms may gather,
Now I may know both joy and woe,
Some day I shall see clearly
That He hath loved me dearly
.
Whate’er my God ordains is right:
Though now this cup, in drinking,
May bitter seem to my faint heart,
I take it, all unshrinking.My God is true;
each morn anewS
weet comfort yet shall fill my heart,
And pain and sorrow shall depart.

Whate’er my God ordains is right:
Here shall my stand be taken;
Though sorrow, need, or death be mine,
Yet I am not forsaken.
My Father’s care is round me there;
He holds me that I shall not fall:
And so to Him I leave it all.
