It came without a warning and took me by surprise

I was broken by my circumstance

Could you even hear me cry?

You say your plans are good, but it's hard for me to see

How something filled with so much pain could even be redeemed

In my heart, I know this trial has a purpose in your plan

But I have to know you're with me and you're holding to my hand

Let me know you see me and that I am not alone

And the prayers I pray are still reaching heaven's throne

If this is how you're teaching me

If this is what you choose

Your way is perfect, even if your way is through

If there's not another road to walk that leads me to your peace

If Jordan's stormy waters flow directly to your feet

Then I will choose to trust you, though the waves crash all around

Believing when the morning comes, I'll be standing on dry ground

Let me know you see me and that I am not alone

And the prayers I pray are still reaching heaven's throne

If this is how you're teaching me

If this is what you choose

Your way is perfect, even if your way is through

Through the valley, through the fear

Through the shadows that surround me here

I know you're holding every tear that falls

Let me know you see me, and that I am not alone

And the prayers I pray are still reaching heaven's throne

If this is how you're teaching me

If this is what you choose

Your way is perfect even if your way is through

Your way is perfect even if your way is through
