Before I Knew You

Before I knew you I thought you were just a upstanding young gentleman sent by God as very wise teacher of the Law and moral values Before I knew you I thought you were just a historical figure who lived among us had died, was buried and resurrected from death over two thousand years ago Before I knew you I thought that you we're just a egotistical dictator residing in the realms of heaven constantly craving attention like a domineering spouse always looking to bake anyone like Johnny Cake into the rock and clay oven of fire and brimstone for every little mistake Now since I have known you for myself all of these preconceived notions of you I have learnt about you all these years have since ceased to exist instead I now view you as my saviour, my comforter, my provider my healer, my teacher and my friend
