God Is Still Mindful (Eldridge Murphy/E.M. Bartlett, 1932)
Often, so often, I wonder why
Jesus should love us so,
And upon Calvary’s cross should die,
That we might pardon know;
Often we mortals our God forget,
Even forget to pray;
Know the way is by snares beset,
Close by His side we’ll stay.
CHORUS:
God is still mindful of us each hour,
Watching us from above,
Keeping us all safe in the arms of love;
Guarded by angels we’ll always be
While we life’s journey make;
Jesus will not one of His own forsake.
Though we are weak He will lend us aid
If we His will would do;
We should be trusting and unafraid,
For He will see us through;
Every foe shall be overthrown,
If in His name we go;
Since He is mindful of all His own,
Victory we shall know.
Some go away while the others stay,
This we don’t understand;
But we shall clearly see some glad day
His is an all-wise plan;
When we are safe on the other shore,
In the sweet bye and bye;
Singing with angels forevermore,
Praises to God most High.
