God Knows My Life by T.L. Newton

God knows my life,

before Him are

Each thought, each act,

for ‘ere, for aye;

He knows each path,

before, ‘tis took,

Each motive bare before Him lays.

God knows my life,

the morn, the eve;

The burdens borne,

the by-gone years;

By wise design

each sorrow wrought,

That often drenched my eyes with tears.

God knows my life

and none but Him,

Doth daily take,

the record make;

With His Right Hand

upholds, casts down,

God never maketh a mistake.

God knows my life,

the deep, the dark;

The silent grief,

the path unknown;

His constant grace

surrounds my soul,

To prove I never walk alone.

God knows my life,

though storms may rise,

His perfect peace

will still abide;

Through every trial,

sharp and long,

My steps are guided at His side.
