I Am Not Skilled to Understand

My Savior My God by Aaron Shust is one of the songs that we will be presenting for worship this week for Sunday Celebration. The verses for song came from an old hymn and the chorus for the song was written at a red light?

A video telling the story behind the song can be found at:

I AM NOT SKILLED TO UNDERSTAND (Original Hymn)

Words: Dor­o­thy Green­well, Songs of Sal­va­tion, 1873.

I am not skilled to understand 

What God hath willed, what God hath planned;
I only know at His right hand
Stands One who is my Savior.

I take Him at His word indeed:
"Christ died for sinners"--this I read;
For in my heart I find a need
Of Him to be my Savior!

That He should leave His place on high
And come for sinful man to die,
You count it strange? So once did I
Before I knew my Savior!

And, oh, that He fulfilled may see
The travail of His soul in me,
And with His work contented be,
As I with my dear Savior!

Yes, living, dying, let me bring
My strength, my solace from this spring-
That He who lives to be my King
Once died to be my Savior!
