Oh, Eva, I had forgotten that little song:
Thank you for reminding me; singing it as I cook.My Lord Knows the Way Through the Wilderness
My Lord knows the way through the wilderness
All I have to do is follow
My Lord knows the way through the wilderness
All I have to do is follow
Strength for today is mine always
And all that I need for tomorrow
My Lord knows the way through the wilderness
All I have to do is follow![]()

With love in the loving cup,
Whenever you're wrong, admit it;
Whenever you're right, shut up.

Are big with mercy and shall break in blessings on your head."
