Almighty God Knows

Our wonderful God is always waiting to help us.

When darkness comes and shadows fall
through the windows down the hall.
I'm not afraid, I have not fear,
for I've a friend that's always near.

I slowly kneel down by my chair,
and quietly go to God in prayer.

When sickness comes and pain is great
and all my so-called friends are late;
he's always near to light the way,
to guide my heart both night and day.

He speaks to my heart and I know it's true,
"What held the answer up was you.

Sometimes I wait too late to pray,
to solve a problem my own way.

The surprising solution which I didn't see,
was there with the answer waiting for me.

Where there is suffering, he will always be near,
but unless we call him, he won't interfere.

In sickness and pain, a heart broken into,
that's when God is closest,
he's hurting for you.
