A Heart to Know

A Heart to Know

A Poem by Donald Cole
"

A song

"

I've been born unto the world

The world once lived through me

And I learn to step out through it all

It took my heart to see

I never really found a way

And rarely would I ever fit in

And the world always left behind

A trail I was living in called sin

.

>Give me a mind of understanding

But give me a heart to know

And most of all let me learn to live through You

Father, cleanse me white as snow

Sin would come to take my soul

.

Finding darkness my way of life

Yet darkness is what would pierce my core

To become a torturous knife

And the knife would come to haunt me

It'd come to cut my soul from Thee

But when I found You, the Light of the Word

I'd found You'd come to rescue me

>

And Your Word would come and be a Light

A lamp You'd sent for me

To light my way to the foot of the cross

To bring me to the gift of life from Thee

>

Don C.
