You know better than I

This afternoon I watched 'Joseph, king of dreams' for the umpteenth time. I can relate to this song Jospeh sings in prison. He is no longer the arrogant, boastful, know-it-all high flyer. He is human. He knows he only sees a small part and really has no clue. I know this is a Disney Joseph, but I think there are elements of truth.

I know I don't know. I know that I need God more every day. Like Joseph, I thought I knew what I am doing, just to discover that I am at a really strange place and not at all where I envisioned. Strangely, I am at peace.

If you have never seen the movie, I can definitely recommend it.

You can watch the music video on YouTube (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TcgpExqkLwE).

"I thought I did what's right
I thought I had the answers
I thought I chose the surest road
But that road brought me here

So I put up a fight
And told you how to help me
Now just when I have given up
The truth is coming clear

You know better than I
You know the way
I've let go the need to know why
For you know better than I

If this has been a test I cannot see the reason
But maybe knowing I don't know
Is part of getting through
I try to do what's best

And faith has made it easy
To see the best thing I can do
Is put my trust in you
For you know better than I

You know the way
I've let go the need to know why
For you know better than I

I saw one cloud and thought it was a sky
I saw a bird and thought that I could follow
But it was you who taught that bird to fly
If I let you reach me will you teach me
For you know better than I

You know the way
I've let go the need to know why
I'll take what answers you supply
You know better than I"
