I Cannot Tell

I Cannot Tell - Eden's Bridge

I cannot tell why He whom angels worship

Should set His love upon the sons of man

Or why as shepherd he should seek the wand'rers

To bring them back they know not how or when

But this I know that He was born of Mary

When Bethl'hem's manger was His only home

And that He lived at Nazareth and laboured

And so the Saviour Saviour of the world is come

I cannot tell how He will win the nations

How He will claim His earthly heritage

How satisfy the needs and aspirations

Of east and west of sinner and of sage

But this I know all flesh shall see His glory

And He will reap the harvest He has sown

And some glad day His sun shall shine in splendour

When He the Saviour Saviour of the world is known
