He Knows - John 17

He knew it will all happen
He saw it as it appeared in the air
He could help it and make a difference
But he allowed it
All for a purpose
To glorify the father who sent him

Though he was God
Who saw everything before they saw the light
He waited to feel our thoughts
Moving by our passion and earnest desire
Compelled by our preoccupation
He was moved
To play out his predestined role

We had thought him to be all powerful
Staying for and perfecting his will
But he had stayed by the side so close
Desiring to be moved by our passion
And to be driven by our emotions
He desires to feel our warmth
So he would work out his plans concerning us
