Well We Know...or Are Learning To Know

Want without Jesus,will never be filled

Its tempest of longing will never be stilled

Acts. 4:12

 Salvation is found in no one else, 

for there is no other name under heaven given to mankind 

by which we must be saved."

Matthew 1:21
She will give birth to a Son, and you are to give Him the name Jesus, 

because He will save His people from their sins."
Acts 10:43
All the prophets testify about Him 

that everyone who believes in Him 

receives forgiveness of sins through His name."

A song to satisfy Want...

 

This is how God showed his love among us:
He sent his one and only Son into the world that we might live through him.
1 John 4:9

Well we know want wars with gladness

Haunts the hope that shores the heart

Daunts desire with deep sadness

And dejection’s stinging smart

Well the struggle for survival

Without God hones hard defeat

Joy, a sympathetic rival

Or a laughing hypocrite

Well we know we know so little

Save what we learn from the past

While the frond of youth grows brittle

As the bond of Truth holds fast

Well the trouble we encounter

Taunts the apple of Want's gain

Faith subjects us to a future

Where sight-blind we peer in vain

Well we know Want’s wage is worry

If we forge forth without God

His great timing none can hurry

Beneath Mercy’s bitter rod

Well we know Want is oft smitten

With the shallow scope of gaze

While the prize of hope is hidden

In God’s higher, perfect ways

Well we know heads full of knowledge

Fill rooms with noise-metered mist

If the heart is but a college

For the want-worn narcissist
