But God
by Annie Johnson Flint
I 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 He can.
I see not, but God sees;
Oh, all-sufficient light!
My dark and hidden way
To Him is always bright.
My strained and peering eyes
May close in restful ease,
And I in peace may sleep;
I see not, but He sees.

I love all those Scriptures that turn on the phrase "but God." This is a wonderful poem...very comforting.

Hi Abby! What cute graphics today! And I love the faith expressed in the poem you have too. We all go through hard stuff, and have to hold on tight to the Lord.
ReplyDeleteI read somewhere that 'God knows the ending in the beginning." That really gives me peace.
Have a wonderful weekend!
