He Knows Me

He knows more than just the number of hairs on my head;

He knows my heart.

He knew my heart,

and knew what he had to do to get me to receive him;

He had to use a girl.

He knew my heart,

and knew what he had to do to get me to feel a part of his family;

He had to give me brothers.

He knew my heart,

and knew what he had to do to get me to tell others about him;

He had to give me a sister.

He knew my heart,

and knew what he had to do to get me to give up my plans;

He had to use himself.

The LORD, God of Israel,

Thank you for knowing me,

Thank you for knowing what it took,

And thank you for doing whatever it took.

Praise be to the LORD, who has changed my life.

1 Kings 8:39, NIV
“… (for you alone know every human heart),”
