Jesus Knows Us

Jesus knows us
The good. The bad
And we can trust
He has our back

He, as God's Son
Paid to atone
For everyone
And get us home

The breadth
Of every pain
The depth 
Of Sins made plain

He experienced our lives
Our temptations and struggles
He understands what tries
Aflicts and even cripples

He did so in one night
That was an eternity
All in the absence of light,
With the taunting of the enemy

He knows what it's like
To be queer or crazy
To be paralyzed 
He lived both sides of hazing!

He saw our hopes and dreams and wept
As He saw all that could have been...
He knows anxiety, shame, and regret
And all that's unfair we've been given

What's the worst that you have known?
He felt that...and oh so much more!
The weight...our sins became His own!
 He sweat and bled from every pore!

The hardest part?
The shock to His system!
Is He was pure!
And no vile was in Him!

Still He held on
Obediently with faith
Doing no wrong
Midst evil was His to face

Knowing Circumstance

He is the best judge
Of all mankind
For He bears no grudge
Our good, He'll find!

Who best to show mercy
And to pardon each sin?
He can perfectly see
From the start to the end

He knows the conditions
And our state of mind
In every situation 
That life can design

He's your  best witness
And your best defense
He knows sure justice
For a just sentence 

No other path 
Would have been right for me
All that I am
Has lead me unto Thee

A Tree Bearing Good Fruit

I am like a tree
That's meant to bear fruit 
But...no ripening
For I grew from poor roots

Plucked where I was found
Pruned and grafted in
I stand on wholesome ground
Where new blossoms begin

The master of the Vineyard
Never gave up on me
Though at times it's been hard
I have made growth, I see
