All I know.

When I first came to know You Lord

It was because You beheld me tight

When I was scared of dying

In the middle of the night

You spoke words to me

That I had never heard

Whether that was right or wrong in others eyes

That thought, did not occur

The years went by

And You held my hand

You held my grief steady when I fell down

When my husband went to be with You

When gutteral pain enveloped me

You were the One who dried my tears

And said, look, look ... look at Me

I've heard the clamour and the din

Of voices all around

Telling me all about You

And whether its who You are

And at times the load is so weighted heavy

That I cant walk very far

So, I crawl to You on my hands and knees

And grab hold of Your feet so tight

Holding on with all my might

And through my life each time I've cried out

Its YOU, You alone whom has been my rescue

And Jesus, I remember what You said

"Don't be afraid, I'ill never leave you"

You knew me before the theology

You delivered me from false deities

When they've told me 'I am right and you are wrong"

YOU have been my Only Song, all along

And now the years have passed by more

And the more I learn, the less Im sure

Yet, you've pitted me against the one

That tried to steal my husband now my daughter and son

But Lord, just as You said to me so long ago

"Hold onto Me, dont let go"

Now, years on Ive been around the mill

And I've listened to all the religious spiel

They've taught me well, that I concede

Yet, its only Your Voice, I really need

And when I first came to know You Lord

It was because I cried out Your Name that night

In a moment You became my Light

No religion, no book or cross I knew

Just you Jesus, Holy and Mighty

You Jesus, thats all I knew

And now the silence is deafening

Family, friends, even children gone

They stopped listening... I stopped preaching...

I speak to You about them day and night long

And I know that You will hear my cries

And bring them to their place with You

That all Ive told them is really true

And that they will come to truly love You too

I hear the earth is trembling

I hear the crashes so threatening

I see the evil men rising high

Lifting themselves up into the sky

They shout "there is no God !!" and deny

Oh Lord,....There is only You.... no, no other.



All I know.... is what You have done for me

Given me life, so I can be free

Bonded to You for eternity

Oh, help me Lord with every breath I take

That who You really are I do not forsake

Help me to live that for you I might die

To help others from the eternal cry

Give me the prayers Lord,

Grace me with Your Words

And oh let it be Your Voice, they have heard.

Thats all I know Lord.......

That........is all I know.
