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!

( and he knows you too)
