We Didn’t Know

We make fewer plans
because tomorrow is uncertain
It always was, we just didn’t know

We puzzle how to live this way
our future behind a curtain
It always was, we just didn’t know

Love the Lord with all you are
the first and great command
It always was, we just didn’t know

Love your neighbor as yourself
is the key to understand
It always was, we just didn’t know

Now the gates have fallen
and evil is at the door
It always was, we just didn’t know

We find our only strength
is in quiet trust of our Lord
It always was, we just didn’t know
