God knew and He heard my cry

Not today he'd always say, "There are no accidents."
Swearin' himself silly demandin' and makin' no sense
Big bad bully always throwin' his weight around
Attackin' the garden and tearin' up the ground

    God knew and He heard my cry
    God knew and He understood why
    God knew and He was always there
    God knew and He always cared

Never good enough I thought as he'd say
"Supper better be ready at 5:30 today."
Big bad bully busy throwin' things around
Always lost because he refused to be found

    God knew and He heard my cry
    God knew and He understood why
    God knew and He was always there
    God knew and He always cared

Night after night his awful evil anger grew
Somewhere way deep down inside of me I just knew
Big bad bully would finally blow up and leave
Accidents can happen:  now I believe!

    God knew and He heard my cry
    God knew and He understood why
    God knew and He was always there
    God knew and He always cared

        God knows now and He hears my cries
        God knows now and He understands why
        God knows now and He's always here
        God knows now and my faith grows
                                      with His love, 
                                               without fear
