God Knows

Dearest, I know the day seems dark and dreary
Skies once so bright seem now so dull for you
But though you've lost your one great joy of life, dear
Someday you'll see behind the clouds God's blue

God knows the loss, dear, He knows the gain
God knows the pleasure, He knows the pain
God knows the future, He knows the past
God knows the purpose that crowns all at last

Dearest, I know all hope seems gone forever
Gone with the dream that once seemed oh, so true
But there is One who sees things as they are, dear
He knows what's best, what's best for all for you

God knows the loss, dear, He knows the gain
God knows the pleasure, He knows the pain
God knows the future, He knows the past
God knows the purpose that crowns all at last
