“He Knows My Name”
Tommy
Walker
I
have a Maker
He formed my heart
Before even time began
My life was in his hands
He knows my name
He knows my every thought
He sees each tear that falls
And He hears me when I call
He formed my heart
Before even time began
My life was in his hands
He knows my name
He knows my every thought
He sees each tear that falls
And He hears me when I call
I
have a Father
He calls me His own
He'll never leave me
No matter where I go
He knows my name
He knows my every thought
He sees each tear that falls
And He hears me when I call
He calls me His own
He'll never leave me
No matter where I go
He knows my name
He knows my every thought
He sees each tear that falls
And He hears me when I call
“Children of
the Heavenly Father”
(Psalter
Hymnal 440)
Children of
the heavenly Father
safely in
his bosom gather;
nestling
bird nor star in heaven
such a
refuge e'er was given.
God his own
shall tend and nourish;
in his holy
courts they flourish.
From all
evil powers he spares them;
in his
mighty arms he bears them.
Neither life
nor death shall ever
from the
Lord his children sever;
for to them
his grace revealing,
he turns
sorrow into healing.
God has
given, he has taken,
but his
children ne'er forsaken;
his the
loving purpose solely
to preserve
them pure and holy.
