96. My Father Knows

1 I know my heav'nly Father knows
The storms that would my way oppose;
But He can drive the clouds away,
And turn my darkness into day.
And turn my darkness into day.

Refrain:
He knows, He knows
The storms that would my way oppose;
He knows, He knows,
And tempers ev'ry wind that blows.

2 I know my heav'nly Father knows
The balm I need to soothe my woes,
And with His touch of love divine,
He heals this wounded soul of mine,
He heals this wounded soul of mine. [Refrain]

3 I know my heav'nly Father knows
How frail I am to meet my foes,
But He my cause will e'er defend,
Uphold and keep me to the end,
Uphold and keep me to the end. [Refrain]

4 I know my heav'nly Father knows
The hour my journey here will close,
And may that hour, O faithful Guide
Find me safe sheltered by Thy side,
Find me safe sheltered by Thy side. [Refrain]
