Who can know the heart like You—
Its needs and wants, its pleasures small
Its grief and joy, its prayers—all
Is known and heard by You.
All will be answered, all made new.
Who can dream the dreams of God?
The breath of life within our souls;
The stars above, the fields below;
How justice touched by mercy’s rod
Can ransom sinners through His blood?
Who else deserves such trusting praise;
Whose image shines in every face;
Who gives the lonely each a place
And is the rest in troubling days,
The Promise kept in every age?
Who but You, and You alone;
Unsurpassable, not fully known
Yet stooping down to whisper close
Through wind and Spirit’s quiet voice
To draw the heart that is my own.
