I did not know
That I could ever say,
"I thank You, Lord,
For trials sent my way."

I did not know
Nor could I understand
That He would hold me
With His Almighty Hand.

I did not know
How close the Lord could be;
Communion such as this –
A touch of heaven for me.

But now I know
Though I am weak and frail,
I have a loving Savior
Who will surely not fail.

And now I know
His blessed words are true;
What our Lord has promised –
That He will also do.

I did not know
But I can truly say,
"I thank You, Lord,
For trials sent my way."
