Now I Know Him

I have known Him in the best of times
 When every day was nothing but sunshine
 And Hisblessings were my daily bread
 It was true, I knew Him then and yet
 Now I know Him
 As my Shelter in the rain,
 Yes, now I know Him
 As my Shepherd through the pain
 He is dear when life is easy
 But in heartache, so much more
 And now I know Him
 Like I never have before
 If my faith had not been tested by the flames
 How could I have known these depths of grace?
 'Cause what is trust until it's proven true
 When I see the valleys He has brought me through
 Now I know Him as the Healer of my heart
 Yes, now I know Him
 The Hand the led me through the dark
 He is dear when life is easy,
 But in heartache, so much more
 And now I know Him
 Like I never have before
