I Am Not Skilled to Understand

Author: Dora Greenwell Meter: 8.8.8.7 Appears in 82 hymnals Scripture: Acts 5:31 Lyrics: 1 I am not skilled to understand what God has willed, what God has planned; I only know that at his right hand is One who is my Savior! 2 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! 3 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! 4 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! 5 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.
