The Heavens Do Rule

Lyrics

THE HEAVENS DO RULE

Oh, the depth of the knowledge
And the wisdom of the Lord!
His judgements are unsearchable,
And His ways past finding out;
Who hath directed His Spirit?
And whose counsel did He take?
For by Him and through Him
Are all things on earth made.

CHORUS

And we know that all things work together for our good,
The footsteps of the righteous are ordered by the Lord;
Even though things don’t work out
The way we think they should,
Yet we know in all things,
That the heavens surely rule.

Which of us by taking thought could add to ourselves?
Why do we yet so many times resist His will?
We’ve got to realize salvation is wholly of the Lord;
Just stand still and consider
All the wondrous works of God.

There is nothing that happens without a real intent,
Our experiences were ordained,
Our trials have been sent
That we might manifest the purpose
Unto which we have been called,
So in perfect confidence
We can submit to Him our all
