I am not skilled to understand

I am not skilled to understand What God hath willed, what God hath planned; I only know at His right hand Stands One who is my Savior.

I take Him at His word indeed: " Christ died for sinners" — this I read; For in my heart I find a need Of Him to be my Savior!

That He should leave His place on high And come for sinful man to die, You count it strange? So once did I Before I knew my Savior!

And, oh, that He fulfilled may see The travail of His soul in me, And with His work contented be, As I with my dear Savior!

Yes, living, dying, let me bring My strength, my solace from this spring — That He who lives to be my King Once died to be my Savior!
