NOBODY WILL KNOW

Excerpt from Our Lyrical Life


NOBODY WILL KNOW, BUT GOD WON'T FORGET IT

THOSE THINGS DONE IN SECRET; 

NO FAME OR ACCLAIM

NOBODY WILL KNOW, BUT YOU WON'T REGRET IT

HE'S KEEPING A RECORD 

OF WHAT'S DONE IN HIS NAME


A HUSBAND AND HIS WIFE AT THE HOSPITAL TODAY

PRAYED FOR A COUSIN, 

WHOSE LIFE WAS FADING AWAY

THEY LED HIM IN A PRAYER TO LET JESUS IN HIS LIFE

SILENT TEARS SAID THANK YOU, 

THEN HE CLOSED HIS EYES

(Chorus)


A CALL CAME IN ONE NIGHT; 

SHE HAS SIX MONTHS OF LIFE

SO HE CRIED OUT TO GOD FOR HIS AILING WIFE

THOUGH NO ONE KNEW THE BURDEN, 

NEVER ONCE DID HE COMPLAIN

GOD HEARD THE SECRET PRAYER; 

RESTORED HEALTH AGAIN

(Chorus)


Bridge: 

WHEN YOU CONSIDER THE WORTH OF YOUR LIFE

AND THE CALLING WE HAVE IN CHRIST

IT CAN'T BE MEASURED BY TREASURE OR CROWDS

WHO APPLAUD YOUR NAME WITH GREAT SHOUTS

THE SPOTLIGHT IS IN OUR HOMES; 

LIVE CHRIST IN REALITY

THE STAGE IS AT OUR BEDSIDE, 

WHERE GOD REVEALS HIS GLORY


 

"HOSANNA IN THE HIGHEST!" 

THE CROWD CALLED OUT ONE DAY

JESUS RODE INTO THE CITY, 

HE WAS COMING MY WAY

I LAID OUT MY BEST FOR HIS TRIUMPH ALONE

THE COLT TRAMPLED MY GARMENT 

AND THE MOMENT WAS GONE

(Chorus)
