Knowing Jesus

Jewels dripping down
They magnify the truth
They show something newly found
Tis' the love of Christ

The magnifying glass of pain
Changes your life
You know you'll never be the same
From this very strife

I shall not be ashamed
I do not need to fear
People hurting me with words
For Christ is always near

Faith, hope and love
For these three things I strive
I want to be like Christ my Lord
For He - He is my God

My Saviour and my king
I know He is my Lord
He always makes me want to sing
And shout praise to my God

I shout out to my God
Have mercy on me Lord
Help me through this testing time
Help me to be strong

This country is not our own
But we are rulers here
Gods enemies we shall disown
Though they will shout and jeer
