He Knows

Jeremy Camp keeps the suffering being described entirely unnamed in "He Knows" — "all the bitter weary ways, endless striving day by day, you barely have the strength to pray, in the valley low." No specific circumstance is given, which lets the song apply to whatever the listener is actually carrying.

"Wounds that no one else has seen, hurts too much to show" names the specific loneliness of hidden pain rather than pain that's already been shared or comforted. "He has walked the suffering" answers that isolation directly — not with an explanation of why the pain exists, but with a claim about who has already been through something like it.

"Every time that you feel forsaken, every time that you feel alone, he is near to the brokenhearted, every tear" closes the song by naming the exact feelings named earlier — forsaken, alone — and answering each one by name rather than with a single general reassurance.
