A friend of mine wondered If God really loves us Then why is the world full of such pain Troubles and trials Sickness and tragedy It happens again and again I couldn't tell her I know every reason Every hidden part of his plan One thing I know Is God watches over us Every child, every woman, every man He sees every sparrow He hears every prayer In the darkest of nights You will find him waiting To dry your tears and comfort you there He knows every sorrow And he's felt every pain And if you let him in He will heal your heartache And fill your soul with his peace again Sometimes it's something That we've really wanted We've prayed and petitioned for But the answers won't come We're left to wonder Will he ever open the door? It's easier said But difficult darlin' To walk by faith and trust in his plan One thing I know Is God watches over us Every child, every woman, every man He sees every sparrow He mends every broken wing And you'll fly away home To find him waiting Where heaven's angels praise him and sing He knows every sorrow And he'll wash away your pain And when you let him in He will heal your heartache And fill your soul with his peace again And when you let him in, He will heal you heartache And fill your soul with his peace again
