CARE

Because the Father knows my need

And He is always good

He gives the body to the seed

To be my daily food.

All that is needed He will know

Before I ask or think;

He furnishes the rain and snow

To be my daily drink.

At the first moment I could see,

Although yet unaware,

My heavenly Father cradled me

Within a mother’s care.

It is His pleasure to impart

Each instant's needed breath;

He moves the pumping of my heart

And shelters me from death.

Yet if I die His Christ will keep

My body in His sight

Until He wakens me from sleep

To lead me into light.

I thank Thee, Father, for Thy care

Which guards me in Thy love

Until eternally I share

My place with Christ above.
