“God Will Take Care Of You”

1 Peter 5:7 Cast all your anxiety on Him because He cares for you.

A very simple bible passage, but often overlooked in application, as we struggle through life. Unchecked, this can lead to discouragement, depression, envy, anger, bitterness, and a host of other descriptives, assigned to our circumstances. In 1904, Walter and Civilla Martin penned the hymn that captures the essence of this bible passage, as Civilla suffered through an illness. When sung, we often do not focus on the words or actual meaning of the song and oftentimes only sing by rote. Here are the words for your comfort and meditation:

Be not dismayed whate’er betide, God will take care of you;
Beneath His wings of love abide, God will take care of you.
Refrain:
God will take care of you, Through every day, o’er all the way;
He will take care of you, God will take care of you.
Through days of toil when heart doth fail, God will take care of you;
When dangers fierce your path assail, God will take care of you.
All you may need He will provide, God will take care of you;
Nothing you ask will be denied, God will take care of you.
No matter what may be the test, God will take care of you;
Lean, weary one, upon His breast, God will take care of you.
