God Provides Our Every Need

Sleep didn't come at all last night,
My mind was working overtime;
Even though I know that God will,
Make sure that my family's fine.

So, we have to move out of here,
It isn't the end of the world;
We've already found a new place,
As new adventures are unfurled.

Our new place is right on the lake,
And it is just the perfect size;
This house was too big anyway,
My spirits should be on the rise.

So why is it that I can't sleep?
It's my mind playing tricks on me;
God has handled this new problem,
I must open my eyes and see.

It wasn't God's fault this happened,
It was due to man's sinful greed;
God came through like He always does,
He provides for our every need.

Thank You my Lord, I trust in You,
I really shouldn't have a doubt;
For You know what is best for us,
And it simply isn't this house.

So as we are growing older,
You've chosen to give us a break;
The work around here is too much,
Now I'll relax down by the lake.

Lord, You work in mysterious ways,
And I realize You know what's best;
Just one more favor I need from You,
Can You provide me with sleep and rest?

Just a few hours and I'll be fine,
For now there is much work to do;
Like packing up our belongings,
And all the blessings that came from You.
