He Knows Me

How many truly know what it means to be rich
Or the difference between the grind and getting paper quick
Is it easier to scheme could we all be that slick
Do we lack code or are we all just sick

Is it living when we fiend for click by click
Hours on end on the gram hearting pic by pic
Can we be real these days are these connections legit
When I all i do is swipe right with a flick of the wrist

New mobile app trends can be addicting i Bet
Spruced up tinder bios like they'll thoroughly vet
IRL face time and a little finesse
Had our fun , keep it cordial, and it's on to the next

It feels good in the moment but is it always best?
Sleep around here and there does it bring me rest?
Can I quench this inner thirst that's deeper than flesh?
With temporary satisfaction and instant regret?

Will i live to see day my family's needs are met
How much longer must I float before I drown in debt
Gotta be more to this life that we just don't get
Maybe One day we'll understand maybe not just not yet

When you live day to day then to weekends to binge
Looking back on decisions and can't help but cringe
Will I recognize my flaws and acknowledge my sin?
When is change gonna happen ? when will my life begin?

Is it true Lord that you've called me a friend?
When will you deliver me? When will my anguish end?
When will the day come when will we finally see
When will have understanding so we can finally be

Because when Life is so short and only death is sure
And treasures and pleasures in this world aren't always pure
Only your truth from above can help us endure
The fact that sin is the cause and only Christ is the cure

If a mustard seed of faith can save by grace
Must we compete any longer in this rat race
Comparing self to others like it'll save you face
Book an appointment so divine that you will boast for days

To my heart's own deceit I was enslaved
To fight a war from within the daily battle is waged
But I surrendered at the cross to the rock of age
Through the renewal of my mind only then was I saved

Who then should I fear most, God or mans?
In whom should I confide, who's the one with the plan?
Who will listen to my story, who will judge at a first glance?
Who knows me better than I know the back of my hand?

Fed up with broken promises and deceitful talking
Always shown me the door I just should've been knocking
I'm not the Lord or commander yet I still know nothing
If I don't really know Christ, am I truly walking?

No longer saw the worth in material gold
Not worth the world's treasures in exchange for my soul
Fake news social media never had me sold
His fellowship in suffering is what I choose to know

That's what the letters of that apostle Paul had read
Based on all the teachings that Jesus said
So I pray every morning when I hop out of bed
Lord give us this day our daily bread

His character is love and meets us every day
Our deepest needs and wants he meets in every way
Let my gratitude be no further delayed
In his Mercy and forgiveness is where I want to stay

Your Word is the lamp that's set the path before me
Now free are my days so I'll claim your Kingdom boldly
A Citizen of Heaven is how the world will know me
My family serves The Lord, therefore I'm never actually
