HE KNOWS ME

HE KNOWS ME God knows me He knows what I look like At every stage of my life He knows me INSIDE AND OUT He knows me-things about myself That I don't even know myself I am a mystery-I am puzzling I am difficult to understand Yet he knows me- MY GOD KNOWS ME-and he loves me EVERY inch of myself “Teach us to number our days aright That we may gain wisdom of heart Return-O Lord-How long? Have pity on your servants” Psalm 90:12-13 Yes-I may NOT even- Know and understand myself But there is SOMEONE who knows me And the psalmist GUIDES us to him The God-who created me- Out of love-KNOWS ME “He says, 'Be STILL and know That I am God I will be exalted Among the nations I will be exalted In the earth'” Psalm 46:10 “SEARCH me-God- And know my heart- Test me And know my anxious thoughts” Psalm 139:23 “To the Jewish people Who had believed in him-Jesus said- 'IF you hold to my teaching You are really my disciples That you will know the truth And the truth will set you free'” John 8:31-32 Yes Lord-you are THE TRUTH You teach and we will listen You are the truth We OPEN our hearts To listen to you To learn the wisdom Of your ways Yes-GOD KNOWS ME- He knows me- He teaches me how to live in LOVE- Forgiveness-and kindness He teaches me/us The WISDOM of his ways “Teach me-Lord- The way of your decrees That I may follow it To the end” Psalm 119:33 “INSTRUCT the wise-and- They will be wiser still Teach the righteous And they will add To their learning” Proverbs 9:9 Yes Lord-teach us your ways You know us YOU KNOW ME Dear Lord-you probe us- You know me You see my flaws- YOU CAPTURE the truth in love You know who I am You know me Yes the Lord- Who CREATED me out of LOVE Knows me And he teaches me Who I am-who we are HE KNOWS ME!
