Knowing the Lord

You have known me Lord
From the moment I took shape in my mother's womb
I am learning to know You, my Lord
from the time I gave my heart to You for safe-keeping.

You have known me Lord from inside out
From the deepest corner of my heart
to the shy and smiling face the world outside see
I have known You Lord as my hope and strength
Joy and love of my heart

You have known me Lord as Your child
sheep, follower and the pen in Your hand
I have known You Lord as my guide
Inspiration and Author of my life

You have known me Lord -weak
fearful, doubting and wrong many a times
I have known You Lord-kind
faithful, compassionate and understanding
at those times.

You have known me Lord as I am
in my best and the worst
I have known You my Lord always
Trustworthy, Almighty and Agape in Your love!
