GOD KNOWS
God knows when you're discouraged He knows when you are blue
He knows if you need comforting He watches over you.
He's always near in time of need When dark clouds are in view
But when you think you can't go on He watches over you.
And when you really need a friend, One who is kind and true,
Just put your faith and trust in Him, He watches over you.
