I Know My Lord And Savior Loves Me

I know my Lord and Savior loves me

Even though I’m broken to the core

My Shepherd He will guide and lead me

I will live with him forevermore.

A broken pot, He fills and heals me

Until His glories overflow

And with His Spirit saves and seals me

Though my cracks and fissures still may show

Now to live is Christ and to die is gain

But for now I’ll work out what He works in

So I’ll follow Jesus while I still remain

With a focused hatred for my sin

Compassion is the mark that love leaves

And mercy  makes the sinner whole

Justice  vindicates one who believes

And when practiced purifies the soul

So I’ll walk humbly on the road to glory

I’ll stand boldly at the throne of grace

For my Savior’s writing all my story

With a love that time cannot erase.

Now to live is Christ and to die is gain

But for now I’ll work out what He works in

So I’ll follow Jesus while I still remain

With a focused hatred for my sin

For My loving Savior is my friend.

Yes my loving Savior is my friend.
