He Knows

Several months ago, my Mom found the poem below in one of my Grandma's Bibles. It is obviously an old poem but the words are still so true.

I remember sobbing as Mom read it to me because it struck me with this amazing truth...God Knows. 

He knows what we are going through. 

He knows why we are going through it. 

He is not surprised by anything. 

He knows our pain, our sufferings.

He knows. 

And, He loves us and cares…So much!

All we have to do is rest in Him, knowing that we can trust him!

He Knows

E. Margaret Clarkson

He knows it all - the winding path,

The sky o'ercast and grey,

The steepness of the mountain side,

The roughness of the way.

He knows it all - the haunting fear,

The doubtings and distress,

The wanderings and perplexities,

And all the strain and stress.

He knows it all - each troubled thought,

Each anxious wave of care,

And every burden, every grief,

Or cross that thou doest bear.

He knows it all - thy weight of woe,

Thine often tear-dimmed eye,

The stabbing pain, the slow, dull ache,

And sorrow's broken cry.

He knows it all - but His to choose

And thine to take His choice!

He knows it all! He planned it so!

Then trust Him, and rejoice.
