God Knows
Topic : God, abilityI know not, but God knows;
Oh, blessed rest from fear!
All my unfolding days
To Him are plain and clear.
Each anxious puzzled “Why?”
From doubt or dread that grows,
Finds answer in this thought:
I know not, but He knows.
I cannot but God can;
Oh, balm for all my care!
The burden that I drop
His hand will lift and bear,
Though eagle pinions tire,—
I walk where once I ran,
This is my strength to know:
I cannot, but God can.
- Annie Johnson Flint
