I heard a lot about You, I didn’t know you
A lot I heard from hardened hearts about you
I wished I could believe that you were
Or at least hoped you were
I contemplated on what to believe, should I go
With the pirated know-how I’ve heard?
How hard it was for my ears to listen throughout the years
The different views each has of you
I wondered if you were and longed to know if you truly you are
So I called out to you.
I called out to you, not once or twice
I deemed it not fit to question them, so I questioned you instead
Not twice or thrice, but more than I’d ought to count
I hoped to stead on a steady reply if you really were
Supposedly if you were you’d listen, you’d reply
And I’d hearken to your voice
You’d be my choice if you are.
You gave ear to my voice, you voiced out to me
You voiced your reply, you said
‘I am real, I do feel, I am most of what you’ve heard’
I wanted to know you more, so you showed me your word
Told me of the Word, the priceless sacrifice you made
Gave me freedom by the cross, took all of my disgrace,
Gave me life by your grace, broke all my chains,
Paid my debt, took me in as your child.
So I learnt that you were, you still are, you always will be
The humble king, the perfect sacrifice that atoned for my sins
You are real, you do feel, you are love
Love that paid it all for me, love that lay it all on the cross that I’d live
I’m yours and you are mine, I’m your child.
