I tried to
count the
number of
leaves,
Upon an old
oak tree,
The needles
growing on a
towering pine,
'Twas an
impossibility.
You know the
sum of the
grains of
sand,
Along the
ocean's vast
shore,
The number of
hairs upon my
head,
You know this
and so much
more.
I can't
imagine all
the stars,
Spread across
the night sky,
When one grows
old, weak and
feeble,
And a young
child must
die.
You know why
there are
senseless
wars,
Killings that
we all abhor,
The reason for
devastating
floods,
You know this
and so much
more.
I'm awed by
the community
of ants,
Working
together for
the good of
all,
And wonder why
a person looks
away,
Instead of
helping when a
neighbor
falls.
You know the
reason a heart
will grow
cold,
Love they
completely
ignore,
Why a mother
will die to
save her
child,
You know this
and so much
more.
I don't
understand the
suffering of
nations,
Under a
barbaric rule,
How one can
take the lives
of innocent
people,
And use fear
as a tool.
You know how a
sinner can
turn away,
While You’re
knocking at
their heart's
door,
Why they don't
seek the gift
of Eternal
Life,
You know this
and so much
more.
I pray for
guidance to
live my life,
Showing others
the way,
To never
hesitate to
sing Your
praise,
And in Your
Presence stay.
You know when
I falter and
reach for You,
Forgiveness I
implore,
Seeking to
right a wrong
that I have
done,
You know this
and so much
more.
I’m amazed at
the Will of my
Lord,
As He lay down
His life for
me,
How can I be
worthy of such
Love,
Shown upon
that hill at
Calvary.
You know when
I bow on
bended knee,
I'll love You
forevermore,
I am a child
of the King of
Kings,
You know this
and so much
more.
