WHAT IF
BY MARIAN MULTARI

WE ALL HAVE ASKED THIS QUESTION MANY MANY TIMES
WE HAVE SORT OUT AN ANSWER STRESSING OUR MINDS
WITH GREAT DISAPPOINTMENT AND FEELINGS OF DESPAIR
WE SUCCUMB TO THE TRUTH THERE IS NO ANSWER HERE

FOR THE ANSWER LIES WAY BEYOND ANY GIVEN WORD
FAR ABOVE OUR INTELLECT AND ANYTHING WE'VE HEARD
IT LIES UNKNOWN TO MAN AND HIS DESPERATE PLEA
IT LIES IN THE HEART OF GOD FOR ONLY HIM TO SEE

FOR ONLY HE KNOWS THE COURSE THAT OUR LIFE WILL TAKE
ONLY HE KNOWS WHERE AND WHY WE MAKE OUR MISTAKES
FOR HE ALONE IS ALL WE NEED EACH AND EVERY DAY
FOR HE ALONE UNDERSTANDS ALL WE THINK AND SAY

SO TODAY WHEN PROBLEMS COME AND YOU THINK "WHAT IF"
REMEMBER TO "STOP" AND "PRAY" GIVE YOUR SOUL A LIFT
PUT YOUR LIFE IN "HIS" HANDS LET HIM HAVE HIS WAY
LISTEN TO THE "SPIRITS" VOICE LET HIM HAVE HIS SAY

DON'T WORRY ABOUT ANYTHING JUST TRUST IN HIS NAME
GIVE HIM ALL THE "WORRY" GIVE HIM ALL THE "PAIN"
RELEASE IT ALL INTO HIS CARE LET HIM LEAD THE WAY
WASTE NO MORE TIME WITH "WHAT IF" JUST LIVE FOR TODAY

TOMARROW IS NOT PROMISED YESTERDAY IS GONE
TODAY IS ALL WE HAVE SO SING IT'S HAPPY SONG
REJOICE IN ALL THE LORD HAS DONE PRAISE HIS HOLY NAME
LIVE YOUR LIFE WITH FAITH IN GOD LET HIS GLORY REIGN
