John 17:1-3 

17 Jesus spoke these words, lifted up His eyes to heaven, and said: “Father, the hour has come.

Glorify Your Son, that Your Son also may glorify You, 2 as You have given Him authority over all flesh,

that He should give Eternal Life to as many as You have given Him. 

3 And this is Eternal Life, that they may know You, the only true God, and Jesus Christ whom You have sent.

 

To know +

 

To know God seems impossible ... I don’t even know “myself”

Always hiding parts of me ... the parts I cannot stand

 

I lock them up in a box somehow ... so I can pretend

That they’re not there at all ... so that I feel better than I am

 

Unless God shows Himself to me ... how could I understand?

Who He is and what He does ... but on the other hand

 

If I just saw a glimpse of Him ... my frame just could not stand

It would totally disintegrate ... for I am barely a man

 

To know God or about Him ... is a Gift through The Lamb

Jesus Christ in Grace proclaimed ... by the Great, I am
