| Maybe I could understand |
| How You called the darkness light |
| Maybe I could understand |
| How You made the waters flee |
| Maybe I could understand |
| How You gave all creation life |
| I’m an educated man |
| It’s not too hard for me to see |
| But there’s something about You |
| That confuses me yet |
| First You forgive then You forget |
| How do Lord? Oh do, Lord, tell me How do You do that? |
| How do You do that? |
| It’s not too hard for me to see |
| How You stilled the raging water? |
| Not too hard for me to see |
| How You walked on it like the land? |
| It’s not too hard for me to see |
| How You woke the sleeping daughter? |
| I’m holding my degree |
| Think maybe I could understand |
| And I’ve known Your forgiveness |
| For each and all of my days |
| But the way You’ve forgotten |
| Leaves me truly amazed |
| How do Lord? Oh do, Lord, tell me How do You do that? |
| How do You do that? |
| You know the hairs on my head |
| Yeah, You’ve named every star |
| But I’m bowing on my knee |
| At how forgetful You are |
| You forgive, You forget |
| You forgive then You forget |
