I stare in ^Gwond^Amer at your tiny ^Gframe. ^F Just to ^Cthink that God ^Dmknows you by ^Gname. ^CHe knows every ^Ghair ^Con you^Amr beautifu^Gl head. ^F He knows your ^Cthought^Dms be^Gfore they are said.^Em

^CMay God grant you peace ^EmIn the midst of a storm. ^CMay God give you strength even When you’re ^Gforlorn. May you answ^Fer the door when Jesus comes knocki^Amng. May wisdom gu^Gide when Your mouth ^Dmis talking. ^GMay discretion protect you And ^Ckeep you pure.

Or fall for a ^Glure. ^CMay your ^Amheart remain humble To the ^Gvery end. May ^Fuprightness and truth Be what you defen^Cd. ^{Em Bb}May the world not ^Densnare Or change who you ^Gare.
