How Do I Know? 

How do I know You love me?

There are days I wonder if You do

My heart is overwhelmed with grief,

And I question if Your love is true

 

Sometimes the card

That I've been handed

Feels too much for me to bear,

And I take my life for granted

 

Life is full of suffering

Is there no repose?

Or is this the path

You for me have chose?

 

I do not see Your goodness

Or Your mercy for each day

If feels like You're against me

Every step of the way.

 

My faith is weak

My eyes are blind

I have no
Peace of mind

 

I raise my sightless

Eyes to Thee

Dear Lord, I pray

Open my eyes that I may see

 

Allow me a glimpse

Beyond the moment here

Reach out to me and

Draw me near

 

Lord, guide me through

My rising fears

Help me smile

Amidst my tears

 

Let my soul

Rise up in hope

And find in Thee

All I have hoped
