[Intro – ad-libs]
Yeah… oh Lord, yeah…
Mmm… you’ve been there for me, God…
Through it all…
[Verse 1]
God knows my ups and downs,
He picked me up from the ground.
He knows my hurt, He knows my pain,
Showed me how to rise again.
When they walked away, You stayed around,
Taught me how to stand my ground.
When the world tried to break my name,
You showed me how to praise through the rain.
[chorus)
Oh, God knows my heart (my heart),
God knows my fight (my fight).
When I’m lost in the dark,
You bring me back to light.
Oh, every time I fall,
You pick me up again.
Your love don’t change at all —
You’re my Father, my Savior, my friend.
[Verse 2]
When a man disrespects me on the street,
I turn my cheek, I don’t bring heat.
When my boss says I’m not enough,
I work harder, I give my love.
When my family don’t understand,
Still I love ‘em with open hands.
When I’m trying just to make ends meet,
You feed my soul when there’s no food to eat.
(Chorus]
Oh, God knows my heart (yeah),
God knows my fight.
When I’m down on my knees,
You make it right.
Oh, when I’ve had enough,
You whisper, “Don’t give up.”
Your love fills my cup —
And that’s more than enough.
[bridge]
(Ohhh) When nothing ever goes my way,
I still hear You say, “I’ll save the day.”
When I wake up in the morning light,
It’s a gift from You — I don’t need a sign.
You taught me grace, You taught me peace,
You showed me love will never cease.
No one else could love me like You do,
And Lord, I give my all to You…
[chorus]
God knows my ups and downs (yeah yeah),
He’s the reason I’m still around.
When I fall, He picks me up (He picks me up),
When I’m weak, He fills my cup.
God loves me for me (for me),
And that’s all I’ll ever need.
Ohhh… just call His name, He’ll come through —
What He did for me, He’ll do for you…
[Outro)mmmmmmmmmmmm… thank You, Lord…
For every mountain, every valley…
You’ve been my strength, my everything…
God knows… my ups and downs…
