It takes the Lord to give a melody It takes the Lord to give a song Only He knows what we really need to help us carry on He knows yes indeed, and He knows everything It takes the Lord to strengthen me each day To carry my heavy load It is His anointing that replenishes me; satisfies my thirsty soul He knows yes indeed, and He knows everything He knows everything; all about the pain And the burdens we bear; just know He cares There ain't nothin' He don't know No place He won't go, nothing He won't do for me and you. Yeah, there ain't nothin' He don't know Yeah, He knows everything there is to know The Lord, He has searched me And He knows me all throughout My downsitting and uprising, all my whereabouts Whether shall I go from Him, whether shall I flee Take the wings of morning, fly above the deep Yeah, there ain't nothing He don't know If I say to darkness "cover, hide me in the night", It won't make a difference, 'cause to Him they're both alike To ascend to heaven is my earnest prayer There's no doubt within me, He will meet me there Yeah, there ain't nothing He don't know Yeah, He knows everything there is to know.
