I wrote this song some time ago...about God's familiarity with all our ways, light and dark, best and worst..the whole of our lives all indelibly in His mind and heart.I sang it last week in Stuttgart, Germany, at the FOKUS leadership conference with the Willow Creek Association. At the bottom of this post is a link to a video with part of the song captured in the arena by my friend Bruce Smith.
he knows
He knows
He knows
He knows
that’s what I want to say
He knows, I know He knows
He knows your name, He knows
He knows your pain, He knows
that’s what I want to say
He knows your smile, He knows
He knows your joy, He knows
He knows your fear, He knows
that’s what I want to say
He knows your secret thoughts
your worries and your doubts
the dreams that keep you up at night
and toss and turn you
He knows the things you worry about
He knows the things you wish you could stop
He knows the ugly words you say
that you don’t understand
He knows the things you wonder about
He knows the million questions
He knows the hunger and the burning
curiosity
He knows the victories you’ve won
and He knows all you loved and lost
and what it is that rips you up inside
the things that make you cry
He knows the truth you wish you knew
He knows the good you wish you’d done
He knows the things you wish you’d never
seen
or thought about
He knows the private agony
He knows the secrets you can’t hide
He knows the ones you wish you’d never hurt
the hearts you’ve broken
He knows as you’re moving closer to Him
sometimes you just want to run
He knows you want to tell Him things
you’ve never told anyone
He knows you want to fall down on your
knees
knows you want to beg Him please
He knows you need just one more chance
He knows all that and more
He knows
He knows
He knows
and never walks away
