God Knows and Does What’s Best

I know the Lord knows everything –
There’s nothing He can’t see;
He sees right now with all the past
And all eternity.

I know the Lord is good and kind –
His love for me is true;
He gave His Son to die for me
And gives me heaven, too.

So, if my God knows everything
And truly wants my best,
Why would I doubt His perfect plan
Or put Him to the test?

Why would I think that I could plan
Or choose a better way
When I don’t know the things He sees
About the coming day?

Lord, I confess I often fail
To seek Your will for me;
I sometimes worry or complain
And doubt what I can’t see.

Forgive me, Lord, and help me turn
In everything to You,
And give me faith to trust Your love
Will once again come through.
