CAUSE I KNOW WHERE I’VE BEEN

It can be so dark and lonely
The smiles can be such a mask
Hiding what is trying to drown you
But hope just won’t die
You can seem to be going nowhere
The dark and weary nights just blend
It can seem that no end is coming
But the light can never go out

Let me tell you a little story
Let me share with you some truth
I may not know your story
But I know where I have been
You shake your head to push me away
What works for me is just fine
How can I be sure that God is real
Let me tell you friend

I know where I am headed
I know the road He has called me to walk
I can tell you with conviction
There is a God who changes lives
You ask how I can be so sure
Cause I know where I have been
Cause I know where I am going
Cause I can trust Gods every word

It can seem to take forever
Have you never wondered why
You can turn and go only so far
Before you run into God’s mighty hand
He holds you closer than a father
He holds nearer than a friend
Don’t let the past trouble you
Don’t let the future get so dim
Just rest in His strength and promises
Just trust and hope in Him

I know where I am headed
Cause I know where I have been
Held so tight in His loving arms
Held so close in His grace
Nothing will ever separate me
From such a great and faithful God
