To Know Him

To the young, hear this plea This is to guide you from the enemy But if you stumble, don't you lose your way We've got an advocate who'll plead your case Jesus, the righteous, He's paid it all His blood's the ransom for the world's great fall Not just for us, but every heart that strays He's calling all to walk in His holy ways You say you know Him, but the proof's in the fight Live by His word, let His love ignite Walk like He walked, let His truth take hold In every step, His story unfolds The world fades, the true light is here Love is the flame that extinguishes fear Don't dare claim the light, while hate is still in your heart If you curse your brother, you're bound to depart A foolish tongue says, I know His name But breaks His law and fuels the shame Love your brother, let the arrogance flee In light's embrace, you'll walk free Hate blinds the eyes, it chains the soul But love's the key to make you whole No new command, it's old as time Yet fresh in Him, it's truth sublime From the start, His word has been clear Now light breaks through, the dawn is near Oh so near If you stay in Him, His love is complete Every stride you take, His heart you will meet No stumbling block, no darkened road In love's bright glow, you'll bear His load Children, you've met the Father's grace Fathers, you've seen the timeless face Young fighters, strong, you've won the war His light, His love, forevermore His light, his love, forevermore His light, his love, forevermore
