He Knows

 

[Verse 1]

The pain was striking and intense As Christ bore all our sins With love as an offering He was crushed in suffering His agony, underscored Not one sorrow was ignored [Pre-Chorus] He sweat blood from every pore As He taught us what love's for He heard cries of the innocent With hands clenched, His heart wrenched Then in frightful moments fought All of Satan's darkest thoughts [Chorus] He knows what we need His soul was made to see All our pains, He can bear He awaits ever near [Verse 2] His disciples lent no support In sleep, they'd not watch keep He was tried and proved our Lord Let's not weary, we're His sheep A prayer engaged and delicate Fleets to the advocate [Pre-Chorus] Our needs, He discriminates And with God, He mediates How can we not remember prayer? All our pains, He can bear He knows what we are in need of As He sends forth love from above [Chorus] He knows what we need His soul was made to see All our pains, He can bear He awaits ever near [Bridge] Through His grace comes tender mercy Which proves He is discerning When the night leans hard on me Still He holds the hurting He knows the weight we carry He knows each tear that falls [Final Chorus] He knows what we need His soul was made to see All our pains, He can bear He awaits, ever near His soul was made to see Each pore, pressed, did bleed He knows what we need Showing tender mercy A sign, appearing
