The Lord Knows Best
God calls for submission supreme
that His elect bow before His feet
recognising their Lord knows always
the right thing to do His treat
No matter how our life turns
even when we think it’s so bad
our mood feels desperately bleak
turn to one that makes our heart glad
This is our God majestic above
who comes down to us on earth
brings conviction upon our sinful souls
opens our hearts for our spiritual birth
Our Lord shows us important lessons
that His way is always the best
so it’s better to leave it all to Him
just bow in His presence and rest
(‘God always gives His best to those who leave the choice with Him'. - Jim Elliot )(1927-1956)
