Thou Knowest My Ev’ry Thought

O Lord, Thou knowest my ev’ry thought
Whe’er it is joyful or distraught.
Through all my life I cry to Thee
For this I know: I am safe with Thee.

Chorus:
Each thought, each hope, yea, ev’ry desire.
Refine them in Thy cleansing fire.
That my one hope, desire would be
To think the thoughts that pleasest Thee!

O Lord, Thou knowest my thoughts within
Easy it is to dwell on sin.
Yet thine the love that shall endure.
Thus I fight to keep my thoughts pure.

O Lord, Thou knowest my thoughts each day.
O when I’m tempted – be my Stay!
I need Thee now; my mind renew
My heart I fix and focus eyes on You.
