He Always Knew (Remastered)
Title: “He Always Knew” When our lives first opened up like a sunrise in the spring We were runnin’ through the daylight, chasin’ everything Didn’t see His hand upon us, though He’d been there all along We were singin’ our own story, tryin’ to write our own song Even raised up knowin’ Jesus, still too young to understand How every step we thought was ours was guided by His hand We walked ahead not knowin’ where these dusty roads would go But God in Heaven always knew what we did not yet know He always knew the mountains we would climb Every tear that’d fall in time Every valley dark and deep Where our faith was sown to keep When we lost our way in the night Chasin’ every shiny light He never left our view Even when we never knew He always knew When we’re young and feelin’ fearless, livin’ mostly for ourselves Not always lookin’ upward for the truest kind of help Some folks say this life’s all struggle, full of heartache, full of pain I’ve come to see those trials as the fire that makes us gain I used to feel the hurtin’ more, let it pull me far astray Now I see each test as mercy gently showin’ me the way God gives us every choice we make, He lets us stand or fall But He’s watchin’ every step we take, He’s never gone at all He always knew the turns we’d take Every heart we’d bend or break Every weakness of a man That only grace could understand Through the storms and through the shame Still He softly called our name He never left our view Even when we never knew He always knew He sent His Son to bear the cross To pay the debt for all our loss And when we kneel and we confess His mercy washes every mess Forgiven by His holy hand He knows the weakness of a man Now I’m past that indecision, I can see the narrow way I’m done chasin’ mortal glitter that just fades from day to day I’ll keep my eyes upon the promise waitin’ just beyond A beautiful reward for those who choose to carry on He always knew where I would stand When I’d finally understand That every trial, every scar Only brought me where You are So I’ll hold my head up high Through the tears and through the why This blessed life I’ve traveled through Was always leadin’ back to You He always knew Yeah… He always knew…
