It takes the Lord to give a melody   It takes the Lord to give a song   Only He knows what we really need to help us carry on   He knows yes indeed, and He knows everything      It takes the Lord to strengthen me each day   To carry my heavy load   It is His anointing that replenishes me; satisfies my thirsty soul   He knows yes indeed, and He knows everything      He knows everything; all about the pain   And the burdens we bear; just know He cares   There ain’t nothin’ He don’t know   No place He won’t go, nothing He won’t do for me and you.      Yeah, there ain’t nothin’ He don’t know   Yeah, He knows everything there is to know      The Lord, He has searched me    And He knows me all throughout   My downsitting and uprising, all my whereabouts   Whether shall I go from Him, whether shall I flee   Take the wings of morning, fly above the deep   Yeah, there ain’t nothing He don’t know      If I say to darkness “cover, hide me in the night”,   It won’t make a difference, ‘cause to Him they’re both alike   To ascend to heaven is my earnest prayer   There’s no doubt within me, He will meet me there      Yeah, there ain’t nothing He don’t know   Yeah, He knows everything there is to know.
