Recorded with students from Maronite College of the Holy Family
Lyrics adapted and inspired from a Letter to Monsignor Kirby in 1874.
This is the Second Reading in the Office of Readings (Liturgy of the Hours) for the Solemnity of St Mary of the Cross (8 August in Australia)

I cannot tell you
what a beautiful thing
the will of God seems to me.

And when I pray, I cannot help but hope
that my prayers are only used
if they’re in His will.

Thus I feel a joy
when things go well
and an equal joy,
when things go wrong

Because I see His will:
I see his will, I see his will.

Like a dear book
I never tire of reading
so God’s will is for me.

Yet my littleness often dares to
oppose it, as I am painfully aware.

But the great love of my Sweet Jesus
is much too strong and beautiful
For me not to cling to him
I cling to him: I cling to him.

La la la la la la la la
La la la la
La la la .
