Analysis of The Love I Know
it happened years ago in 1979
invited Jesus to come into my heart
this would light the inner spark
to where I needed to go
pitter patter of soft sandle feet
we would both meet & greet
worship at his feet
one day at a time sweet Jesus
that's all I'm asking of thee
then when i was thirteen
starring up in the clouds to see his face
he is the peace that passes all understanding
living inside of me hide me away from society
a very good reason to believe
from hanging on a tree
to coming to live inside of you & me
for I look to the sea
reflections on the way spark my memories
some happy and sad
think of childhood friends and the dreams we had
Jesus is for us a quest to rejoice
out of his great love he shared
so never fear or drop a single tear
as he may whisper in your ear
his love was such that he suffered so much
just to cause some of us to follow
the love I know
