People ask me why I praise your name
|
|
They ask because they don't know you like I do.
|
I know you in a tear stained pillow |
|
And in the giggles of a playing child |
I know you in the rejection by loved ones
|
|
And in the hungry eyes of a newly saved teen |
I know you in the regrets for sins past
|
|
And in the countless possibilities that free will offers
|
I know you in the exhaustion of fighting the evil one
|
|
And in the steadfast victory when the battle is over |
I know you in the why and how of questions unanswered
|
|
And in the grace that allows those questions to be asked
|
I know you in the pain of your fallen children
|
|
And in the loving touch of a Christian friend |
If people knew you like I know you |
|
They wouldn't ask such silly questions. |
