How I Know You, Jesus

This is a photo of our family in 1963. I am in the back row on the left.
This helps us realize the grace of God in my life. Be blessed


HOW I KNOW YOU, JESUS
By Lydia Chorpening

There are ways I've known you, Jesus
Ways I've seen You in Your Light
I have known You as my Savior
And as my very heart's delight!


I have known Your early risings
As my Teacher and my Guide
Imparting into my heart Your wisdom
When with tests so hard I'm tried.

I have known You as my Healer
As my Shepherd's rod and staff
As a Light within my darkness
You have come on my behalf.

I have known You in my valley
As the Lily of the field
As the lovely Rose of Sharon
My Defense with sword and shield.

I have known You on the mountain
As a source of joy's delight
You have been my song's Inventor
Comforter in truth and might.

I have known You in my hunger
As Supplier of my bread
You have taken what was nothing
And have sent me filled to bed.

I have known You by your speaking
Words of Life and not of ill
Prince of Peace with glorious sayings
Admonisher with words that thrill!


I have known You in the battle
As the Captain of the fight
Government upon Your shoulders
Making wrongs come out to right.


I have known You as my Husband
As the Lover of my soul
You've been closer than a brother
You who softly takes control.

I now know You, Lion of Judah
Conquering King--Dominion Sure!
Gentle Dove with wings unfolded
Bringing me Your mercies pure!
