He Knows What We Need

Our Father sees what’s best for us,
So why should we complain? 

Though we long for endless sunshine, 

He knows we need the rain.

We cherish joyful laughter, 

The warmth of happy days, 

But tears refine our spirit 

In quiet, tender ways.

He often sends us trials— 

Not to wound or bring despair, 

But to shape us for tomorrow 

With loving, patient care.

Like trees that grow through tempests, 

Or stone beneath the blade, 

Our souls gain strength and beauty 

By storms and cuts well-made.

God never brings us sorrow 

Without a deeper plan; 

Each loss becomes a blessing 

In the workings of His hand.

When we reflect on mercies 

He’s poured out from above, 

We’ll find no room for grumbling— 

Just gratitude and love.

For He adores His children, 

And sees beyond our view; 

He won’t give fleeting pleasures 

When pain will make us new.

So when life feels uncertain, 

And trials linger long, 

It’s simply God within us, 

Making our spirit strong.
