| If You Only Knew What I Know By George Thurlow If you only knew what I know, You wouldn't settle for less; And live each day in bondage Of sin and unhappiness. When you get a taste of heaven There's just no turning back; You'll never be content again Knowing the things you lack. Once you meet my precious Savior, Through Him see what you are; You'd be longing for a cleansing, To be righteous, holy, and pure. When you see how things were meant to be And what you can become: Why be a part of this sinful world, Discontent and glum? You can know the Savior personally And be a child of God: Sharing in Christ's inheritance And on streets of gold can trod. This world doesn't hold a candle To what there is in store, For those of us who know Him And of Him desire more. If you only knew what I know, Hope would be in your heart. The past would be behind you, You could have a brand new start. You'd have a friend to rely on Who would never let you down. Your heart wouldn't be so heavy; There would be a smile instead of a frown. If you would only meet my Jesus And ask Him in your heart; He would change you in a moment And new life would impart. |
