God Sees.
When I rise at early morn,
Need I fear of any harm—
God sees.
Need I fear of any harm—
God sees.
When I run about and play,
If I 'tempt to go astray—
God sees.
If I 'tempt to go astray—
God sees.
When my mama whispers low,
“Baby you do so and so”—
God sees.
“Baby you do so and so”—
God sees.
If I disobey her rule,
Or if I am rude at school—
God sees.
Or if I am rude at school—
God sees.
If I do the thing that's right,
Whether it be day or night—
God sees.
Whether it be day or night—
God sees.
If I do a thing that's wrong,
Even though I hide it long—
God sees.
Even though I hide it long—
God sees.
When I'm through with all the day,
And I kneel at night to pray—
God sees.
And I kneel at night to pray—
God sees.
146
After I am gone to bed,
If I cover up my head—
God sees.
If I cover up my head—
God sees.
Even when I'm sound asleep,
While the angels 'round me creep—
God sees.
While the angels 'round me creep—
God sees.
So you see I never fear,
God's protection's ever near—
God sees.
God's protection's ever near—
God sees.
