My Father Knows My Need

My Fa­ther knows my need

And I can trust His love;

He may not al­ways deign to give me

The things which I most crave.

My Fa­ther knows

Oh yes

He knows

And with my soul ’tis well.

My Fa­ther knows my need

He will sup­ply it all;

He hears His child­ren when they cry

and

He an­swers when they call.

My Fa­ther knows my need

His love no tongue can tell;

And if some­times He does de­ny me

I know for me ’tis well.

My Fa­ther knows my need

He knows my strength is small

So I will trust His love and grace

for

He will not let me fall.

My Fa­ther knows my need

I fear no dread alarms

For round about and un­der­neath me

Are ev­er­last­ing arms.
