"If I Only Knew"

If I only knew Jesus loves me,
I'd Bless and thank Him each day.

I'd start living it now in my mind.

it'll be something I'd do all the time.

I'd never settle for less.

I'd do it and make it my best.

If I only knew I'd live forever,
I'd laugh at death in its face.

I'd ask God to please take my place.

If I only knew about giving,
I'd be Blessed above all the fray.

I'd live in a much noble way.

I'd grab it and never let go.
If I only knew about patience,
I'd slow down and take it real slow.

If I only knew about forgiving,
I'd done it a long time ago.
If I only knew about character,
I'd know it's the best way to grow.

I'd be anxious and couldn't hardly wait.

I'd know my soul is still lost.

I'd avoid it no matter the cost.

If I only knew my soul,
I'd know I was seriously sick.

I'd learn about life really quick.

If I only knew I was blind,
I'd ask God for sight just to see.
If I only knew myself,
I'd know what's going on inside me.

If I only knew I'd win,
I'd put up a much better fight.
If I only knew how to grow,
I'd do it each day and each night.

If I only knew THAT knowledge,
I'd then know all the facts.
If I only knew understanding,
I'd know what's holding me back.
