Omniscience

Father, God, you taught me how, With happy heart, before you, bow. You took my fears, though I was lost, And nailed them with you on the cross. Mercy’s love has shown your grace And how to boldly seek your face. All burdens offered you, each one, I lay before your righteous throne. There was a man that loved me once For his soul, I need assurance. A child of nine, I knew not why, My favorite grandpa had to die. Your truth not know to me those days, Too young to walk the narrow way. With heavy heart, my tears long wept, Did he, your sacrifice, accept? To Heaven’s gate I lift my prayer Will Papa lovingly meet me there? Oh, how I wish back then I knew Salvation prayers are sent through you. Did others pray his soul be saved So he’d accept the price you paid? All things you know, then, as today, But did you hear this prayer I pray? In your Omniscience, I rely That years ago you heard my cry. If when he lived you knew my need I, for his soul, now intercede.
