God Knew

Look up at the skies
My dearest love
And peruse the heights
Of all the clouds above

This world could never be enough
To hearken to our cries
Or bring our darkness to light.

The woes we share
And burdens we bare
Surpass the earth's
Capacity to care

But the Lord and Savior
Reigns as King on High
for a thousand generations

He paints the skies
So glorious are the nights
When fear no longer resides
In cavities, we used to hide

The Father extends His
Nail pierced hands
To carefully restore
The sinfulness we bore

He still purifies us in the wilderness
And refines us like gold
Tested in the fires
We will withstand
To embrace something more

With His touch
He makes us His own
To all who doubt
The mighty throne

Let our lives exemplify
The Healer of the broken
And may such redemption
Be the joy we magnify
In our hearts
And in our souls

To God we owe our deepest longing
Our sincerest love
And our unwavering devotion.

So when I look towards the heavens
I thank Him for the beauty that is...

The person who stands next to me
The person who I was made for
The same person
Who God has saved me for--
Because, He knew you were worth waiting for
And you became what I prayed for

My darling love, it is you I praise Him for.
