-to Know Him-

O, what it was He did for me
He will do also for you.
He opened my eyes that I would see
His Path in a life that is new.

There is nothing that I can Give Him
than just this one day at a time.
This new life that I find myself in
is more than just staying in line.

To know Him and not just a bleak set of rules
is the great promise to which I cling.
I will receive in that day a crown with jewels
from the service that love for Him brings.

As He pulled me out of the darkness
into the Love of His Glorious Light,
I'll encourage others to reach for His best
And they too will receive their sight.
