I am poor and needy; yet the Lord thinketh upon me.
Psalm 40:17
Words & Music: Edmund S. Lorenz, Notes of Victory (Chicago, Illinois: Fleming H. Revell, 1885), number 54 (🔊 pdf nwc).
Amid the trials which I meet,
Amid the thorns that pierce my feet,
One thought remains supremely sweet,
Thou thinkest, Lord, of me!
Refrain
Thou thinkest, Lord, of me;
Thou thinkest, Lord, of me;
What need I fear, since Thou art near,
And thinkest, Lord, of me!
The cares of life come thronging fast,
Upon my soul their shadows cast;
Their gloom reminds my heart at last,
Thou thinkest, Lord, of me!
Refrain
Let shadows come, let shadows go,
Let life be bright or dark with woe;
I am content, for this I know,
Thou thinkest, Lord, of me!
Refrain
