Lyrics

He knows my thoughts, my ways, my deed
My Jesus knows it all
Every part in me his hands have made
My Jesus knows it all.
He knows it all, my total heart
Nothing is hidden from my God
He knows he knows it all.

In the darkness or bright day light
He knows, he knows it all
In the depths beneath, or high above
He knows, he knows it all
What e’er I say, what e’er I do
He notes and takes into account
What e’er I say or do
He plans my ways he directs me.

He knows, he knows it all
In time of war in time of joy
He knows, He knows it all
He knows it all, my total heart
Nothing is hidden from my God
He knows, He knows it all.

Alternative / extended lyrics

He knows my thoughts, my ways, my deeds my Jesus knows it all
E’ry part in me His hands hath made, He knows, He knows it all
He knows (He knows) it all, my total heart (He knows)
Nothing is hidden from my Lord, He knows, He knows it all

In the darkness or bright sunlight, He knows, He knows it all
In depths beneath or heights above, He knows, He knows it all
What e’er I do (I do), what e’er I say (He knows)
He notes and takes into account what e’er I do or say

He plans my way He directs me, He knows, He knows it all
In time of woe in time of joy, He’s there and knows it all
His plan for me (for me), is in His hands (He knows)
He plans and controls everything, yes! Jesus knows it all

My life on earth my Jesus knows, His hands provide me strength
If I should leave this earthly home, Jesus has one for me
Jesus loves me (loves me), beyond compare (compare)
I am the sheep of His pasture, He loves me this I know

My life’s mysteries my Jesus knows, He knows and cares for me
No matter how the tides may rise, He’s there and will take care
My times (my times) are ever in His hands (His hands)
He draws the plan and executes as it is in His hand.
