GOD KNOWS THE SCORE

By Helen Steiner Rice

Have you ever been caught

in a web you didn’t weave,

Involved in conditions

that are hard to believe?

Have you felt you must speak

and explain and deny

A story that’s groundless

or a small, whispered lie?

Have you ever heard rumors

you would like to refute

Or some telltale gossip

you would like to dispute?

Well, don’t be upset

for God knows the score

And with God as your judge

you need worry no more,

For men may misjudge you

but God’s verdict is fair

For He looks deep inside

and He is clearly aware

Of every small detail

in your pattern of living

And always He’s lenient

and fair and forgiving.
