Knowing God 1. Not one bird or bee or flower, but our Father knows its cares; And He carries all its cares, for He is strong. Not a second of the hour is our Father unawares Of our trials, of our struggles, of our song. "Seek My face" He bids His children; "Let us reason" is His call. "You will find Me when, with all your heart, you seek. Though your ways are far from My ways, yet I long to heal you all; And to bring you to My dwelling with the meek." Refrain: He is quick to help the tempted. He is strong to help the weak. He is life and health and beauty; God above. He is wisdom for the foolish, Drawing near to all who seek. He invites us to approach Him: God is love. 2. "God is love!" All nature sings it. "God is love!", is ev'rywhere. His created works, His character reveal. In the hue that tints the flower, and the fragrance of the air And the sunshine and the rain; they bear His seal. More enduring than the mountains, our defence, unfailable; With the wisdom of eternity and more All compassing, like the heavens; always He's available And is ready to provide us from His store. (Refrain) 3. Closer than the closest brother, He has called us by His name He has poured all heaven out, to bring us back From before the world's beginning; He will always be the same And the Bible shows His promise is not slack. Knowing Him is life eternal, freely given through His Son. It's a science that will never, ever cease. He's a stream of light and life and love, a stream for ev'ryone In the knowledge of the Lord we can find peace. (Refrain)
