He knows me – He understands;
He knows me – I’m engraven on the palms of His hands.
He loves me – Even in my weakness, in my pain.
He saves me – So that even when I fall, through Him I can rise again.
He knows me – Even though at times I’ve turned away;
He knows me – Though I don’t always feel Him when I try to pray.
He answers … My deep unspoken longings from within.
He knows me – And over time, I’m coming to know Him.
And even though I fall at times – Though I stumble and lose my way,
His unseen arms are stretched out still – Reaching for me each day.
And even though I’m weak at times – Though I’m blind and cannot see,
I’m never really lost to Him – Though I might feel lost… to me.
He knows me – He’s always there.
He knows me – I walk within the safety of His care.
He sees me – Through every storm and struggle that I face;
He frees me – And slowly makes me strong in every place!
And even though I fall at times – Though I stumble and lose my way,
His unseen arms are stretched out still – Reaching for me each day.
And even though I’m weak at times – Though I’m blind and cannot see,
I’m never really lost to Him – Though I might feel lost… to me.
He knows me – He understands;
He knows me – He’s engraven me on the palms of His hands.
He guides me … With His tenderness, His whispered voice within.
He knows me – And over time, I am coming to know Him…
To know Him!
