- Knowing Jesus (Makes Me Cry) Betsy Carter 4:18
The Lord has tenderized my heart to the point that when I think of Him, my eyes tear up. He is so precious to me and I love Him so much. He is everything I need, and I am no longer ashamed of the heart He put inside me, because there was a time that I was a cynic and hard hearted. But His Spirit has a way of changing us. I like who He has made me, and I didn’t like me before. This song is very different than any other I’ve received.
LYRICS:
There was a time in my life
When I had hardened my heart
The guilt of the past
Kept tears and me apart
The wrong I had done
The pain I’d begun
Had left me dry and cold
Until I met my heart’s desire
An ancient Man of old
Just knowing Jesus makes me cry
And I don’t understand
All the reasons why
Maybe it’s because for the first time
In a lifetime I am wholly alive
I only know that
Knowing Jesus makes me cry
Then later on in my life
When I had softened my heart
The worship so sweet
Made the tears start
I was tempted to hide
Embarrassed by pride
To let my feelings show
But then I held my head up high
Unashamed to let them know
That knowing Jesus makes me cry
And I don’t understand
All the reasons why
Maybe because life times
Before my lifetime
He was willing to die
I only know that knowing Jesus
Really knowing Jesus
Having a longing for and
Knowing Jesus makes me cry
