Subject: RE: Lyr Req: Need middle verse for original song
Bobert, here's a start on a possible second verse (though I think this one calls for another one before you get to the last verse).  I'll admit that without knowing the meter or tune, it's hard to fit my lyrics to them.

Well I pondered what the Reverend said*
As I went upon my way.
Sometimes I've been knocked about, brought down to my knees
Till there was nothin' to do but pray.
I said, "Lord, I just don't understand
Why the world must suffer still,
Please help me trust your wisdom,
Help me do what is Your will.
Help me do Your will.
 

I think it needs an additional verse that shows how trusting God has been the right choice for the narrator, despite his doubts.

* or "Well, I thought of Jesus' sacrifice"  or "Well, I thought about that gift of Love"
