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.
