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.
