Hindsight
Hillsong Young & Free Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I find perspective
There in the best and worst days of this life
You were always on my side
You're in the pain
You're in the promise
And on the days the furnace finds my faith
I don't need to know what the future says
'Cause if the past could talk it would tell me this
My God isn't finished yet
If He did it before He can do it again
So I'll trust Him with what comes next
For the God I know is known for faithfulness
Yeah, my hindsight says
I can trust Him with what's next
For the God I know
Is known for faithfulness
There's more ahead
Than what's behind me
'Cause through the highs and lows and in between
God You go ahead of me
And where You call me
I will follow
If the water folds beneath my feet
Then You'll pull me from the deep
I don't need to know what the future says
'Cause if the past could talk it would tell me this
My God isn't finished yet
If He did it before He can do it again
So I'll trust Him with what comes next
For the God I know is known for faithfulness
And my hindsight says I can trust Him with what's next
For the God I know is known for faithfulness
I don't need to know what the future says
'Cause if the past could talk it would tell me this
My God isn't finished yet
If He did it before He can do it again
So I'll trust Him with what comes next
'Cause my hindsight says I can count on this
My God isn't finished yet
If He did it before He can do it again
So I'll trust Him with what comes next
For the God I know is known for faithfulness
Yeah, my hindsight says I can trust Him with what's next
For the God I know is known for faithfulness

Retrospectiva
Enquanto reflito, encontro perspectiva
Lá nos melhores e piores dias desta vida
Você estava sempre do meu lado
Você está na dor, Você está na promessa
E nos dias em que a fornalha encontra minha fé
Você é o 4º dentro das chamas
Eu não preciso saber o que o futuro diz
Porque se o passado pudesse falar me diria isso
Meu Deus ainda não terminou
Se Ele fez antes, Ele pode fazer isso de novo
Então eu vou confiar Nele com o que virá
Porque o Deus que conheço é conhecido pela fidelidade
Minha retrospectiva diz que posso confiar Nele com o que virá
Porque o Deus que conheço é conhecido pela fidelidade
Há mais à frente do que o que está atrás de mim
Porque através dos altos e baixos e nos meios
Deus Você vai na minha frente
Onde Você me chama, eu vou seguir
Se a água cede abaixo dos meus pés
Então Você vai me puxar do fundo
Eu não preciso saber o que o futuro diz
Porque se o passado pudesse falar me diria isso
Meu Deus ainda não terminou
Se Ele fez antes, Ele pode fazer isso de novo
Então eu vou confiar Nele com o que virá
Porque a minha retrospectiva diz que posso contar com isso

Adaptación en español
Verso 1
Al recordar
Ahí te encuentro
En el mejor día o en el peor
A mi lado siempre estás
En el dolor
En la promesa
Cuando mi fe en prueba llega a estar
Tú te aparecerás
Pre-Coro
El futuro no tengo que saber
Porque el pasado habló y me dijo que
Coro 1
Mi Dios no termina aún
Si Él antes venció Él lo hará otra vez
Confiaré en que vendrá después
Porque lo conozco y sé que siempre es fiel
Post-Coro
Sí, confío en Él
Y en lo que vendrá después
Porque lo conozco
Y sé que siempre es fiel
Verso 2
Hay mas delante
Que en el pasado
Los altibajos que llegue a vivir
Dios vas al frente de mí
Y cuando llamas
Yo te sigo
Si en el agua me comienzo a hundir
A mi auxilio vas a ir
Coro 2
Mi Dios no termina aún
Si Él antes venció Él lo hará otra vez
Confiaré en que vendrá después
Yo confío en Él y cuento con que
