Lyrics
Verse 1
There are so many things about the will of God,
The things we don't understand because they seem so hard.
We try to find the way that seems to be just right,
But the way we choose only leads us further from the light.
But if we can learn to accept the things we cannot change,
And never question God for we'll never know His way.
Chorus
We must accept what God allows,
And we must never try to tell Him how
To order our lives, He has a plan in mind.
He's the one who made you, created you,
Saved you, and He knows what's best for you;
His will is good, it is acceptable, and it's perfect.
Bridge
There are many things about
What God allows that we don't understand,
But if He allows all of these things to be,
It's a part of the Master's plan.
He knows what's best,
And He won't put more on than you can bear.
Bridge 2 (Repeat x2)
His will is good, it is acceptable, and it's perfect;
Yes, it is.
Vamp (Repeat x2)
Yes,
Yes, to Your will.

Meaning & Inspiration
"The Will of God" opens by naming confusion directly, admitting that many things about God's will remain hard to understand even while a chosen path only leads further from the light. That honest admission of difficulty frames the entire song's call to acceptance as a real choice rather than an easy default.
Its chorus borrows a well-known biblical phrase almost directly, naming God's will as good, acceptable, and perfect, tying that description to his role as creator and savior who already knows what is best. Repeating that same phrase in a second bridge reinforces it as the song's settled conclusion rather than one claim among several.
Rooted in contemporary gospel's teaching style, the song functions as an extended meditation on surrendering to divine will despite incomplete understanding, its closing vamp reducing an entire argument about acceptance down to one repeated word of agreement, yes, offered directly to that will.
