how would i know?

i honestly don't remember the last time i listened to a full cd of one particular artist...my music is always set to "random"...i think mostly for the element of surprise...and always by genre...

so yesterday a song came on...it was in my ipod...so i must have heard this song at one time or another...the thing is...i don't remember it...but wow...the words really hit home yesterday...

there are many times we may want to ask why things turn out the way they do...or why we may need to go through a rough time...if we didn't have those times...how would we ever know how He has come through for us...time and time again...

hope you enjoy!

Words and Music by Jackie Gouché-Ferris and Andrew Gouché

If it wasn't for the times that I was down
If it wasn't for the times that I was bound
For all the times that I wondered
How I would ever make it through
All the times that I couldn't see my way
And I had to turn to You

Chorus:
How would I know You could deliver
How would I know You could set free
If there had never been a battle
How would I know the victory
How would I know You could be faithful
To meet all of my needs
Lord I appreciate the hard times
Otherwise how would I know

I remember all the times I had to cry
And at the time all I could do was wonder why
Why would a God so kind and loving
Allow me to go through all this pain
If I could see into the future
Then I would know the joy I'd gain

Repeat chorus

How would I know that you could make a way out of no way
How would I know if I never had a need
Brother I know what you're goin' through
Sister I know cause I've been in your shoes
But I can truly say that I know what God can do
