Knowing the Lord

Verse 1

I have a friend that’s closer than a brother

The son of God the Savior, precious lamb

I’m bought with his blood

I’m bound by his love

I’m held by his precious nail scarred hand

Everything I am is because of Jesus

And all I want in life is to be like Him

I fail and make mistakes

But I’m never turned away

He’s forgiven me of all of my sin

Chorus

The greatest friend you’ll ever have

Is the one who died for you

When everybody else is gone

He will still be true

And Heaven knows I don’t know much

But of one thing I’m sure

The sweetest thing in my life

Is knowing the Lord

Verse 2

I think when I finally get to Heaven

The mansions won’t mean that much to me

The streets of gold will shine

But I won’t waste much time looking at any of those things

I think when I am finally home

The very first place where I will go

Is straight to the feet of the one who died for me

Who took my sin and suffered on that tree

Chorus

The greatest friend you’ll ever have

Is the one who died for you

When everybody else is gone

He will still be true

And Heaven knows I don’t know much

But of one thing I’m sure

The sweetest thing in my life

Is knowing the Lord

Bridge

When the fear is more than I can take

When regret comes crashing in

When I feel like I am all alone

And I’m reminded of my sin

When the devil whispers in my ear

And says “You’ve done too much”

Jesus says be strong my son, you’re covered by the blood

Chorus

The greatest friend you’ll ever have

Is the one who died for you

When everybody else is gone

He will still be true

And Heaven knows I don’t know much

But of one thing I’m sure

The sweetest thing in my life

Is knowing the Lord
