Maybe I could understand how you called the darkness light,
Maybe I could understand how you made the waters flee,
Maybe I could understand how you gave all creation life,
I'm an educated man, it's not too hard for me to see,
But there's something about you that confuses me yet,
First you forgive, and then you forget.

How do, Lord'
Oh do, Lord,
Tell me, how do you do that'
How do you do that'

It's not too hard for me to see how you stilled the raging water,
Not too hard for me to see how you walked on it like the land,
It's not too hard for me to see how you woke the sleeping daughter,
I'm holding my degree, thinking maybe I could understand,
And I've known your forgiveness for each and all of my days,
But the way you've forgotten leaves me truly amazed.

How do, Lord'
Oh do, Lord,
Tell me, how do you do that'
How do you do that'
How do you do that'
How do you do that'

You know the hairs on my head,
Yeah, you've named every star, but I'm bowing on my knee at how forgetful you are.

How do, Lord'
Oh do, Lord,
Tell me, how do you do that'
How do you do that'
How do you do that'
How do you do that'

How do, Lord'
Oh do, Lord,
Tell me, how do you do that'
How do, Lord'
Oh do, Lord,
Tell me, how do you do that'
You forgive, you forget,
You forgive and then you forget,
You forgive, you forget,
You forgive.
