I’ve known joy and I’ve known pain
I’ve seen the sunshine and I’ve seen the rain
There have been moments of laughter
And moments of tears
Life has given me compassion
While time has granted me
Blessings for which I’m so thankful
I’ve known the warmth of Spring
And I’ve seen Winter’s cold inhibit
There have been days when I could praise
While at times I’ve felt like I’ve lost my mind
Sometimes, silence has given me solace
While other times, it’s brought me misery
Will I ever know the wisdom that comes
From being close to God, who created us all?
I’ve known desperation and anguish
Felt the sadness that comes when the light
Shines across the sins that have been given
A chance to grow wild and penetrate the soul
With resentment and bitterness, feelings
That make sure the heart never knows
The path to truth and wisdom, the way to give
From the heart of hope, faith and love
The gift of tenderness that comes from knowing
The breath of God against the spirit, instilling
Within the heart, a compassion that assures
There will always be second chances, good
Life and light that comes from knowing
The grace that comes down from above
Is brought to life by the prayers that thrive
From knowing that Jesus blood is flowing
And we can apply it to our hearts, where
We have the opportunity to sing praises
To the God who has come down to save us
Salvation comes from knowing God
Through the whisper of grace that softens
The hardest heart, the saddest soul
With a sweetness that arises from the joy
That comes alive once you know Him
