1st Chronicles 17:17-18. “What can David speak more to thee for the honor of thy servant? for thou knowest thy servant. O Lord, for thy servant’s sake, and according to thine own heart, hast thou done all this greatness, in making known all these great things.” THOU KNOWEST THY SERVANT. Not from a great family of pomp and wealth – Just a hard-working people to who Thou gavest good health – From a long line of people to whom grace Thou hast dealt Lord God, Thou knowest Thy servant!
From those who respect Thy Word and did give Loyalty and allegiance for Thou didst many of us save – And kept by Thy power, providing for us all that we have – Lord God, Thou knowest Thy servant!
Thy grace to Thy servant was clearly made known unto me When by Thy Gospel I came to face eternity And learned by the Gospel what Christ’s blood means to Thee – Lord God, Thou knowest Thy servant!
Like in ancient times when they put blood on the posts – I saw Christ shed His blood for me when He died on the cross – By faith in Christ alone – not of works lest I boast – Lord God, Thou knowest Thy servant!
A desire within to please God from the start Came from the Holy Spirit who moved on my heart – I did not want in any way from Thy will to depart – Lord God, Thou knowest Thy servant!
It has been my great privilege to serve Thee for years. Thou gavest me a wife who in Thy great work shares. We both look to Thee in confidence who our burdens bears – Lord God, Thou knowest Thy servant!
To see Thy saving grace in many others is our life. To worship and praise with them brings great delight. I have such joy to see our children walking in the light – Lord God, Thou knowest Thy servant!
“Hear the thoughts of my heart, O God, and be glorified by them in some way I pray, in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ, Amen.”
