You know him better than I do

Lord,

You know his love for You,

You know his love for men,

You know his kind and gentle hand.

You know his gifts,

You know his talents,

How great he can become a person.

You know him better than I do.


Lord,

You promised him much,

He sacrificed much.

Left aside his pride,

Humbled himself,

Followed Your directions,

Held on tight in the toughest times.

You know him better than I do.


Lord,

Yet he is humilated,

Brought down,

He is bruised and affliicted.

Even as an onlooker,

My heart pains seeing him in agony,

Yet he always bore it silently.

You know him better than I do.


Lord,

On the outside he seems so energetic,

So lively,

Bursting with passion.

But his iceberg of pain,

Much of it is hidden underwater.

Still he never gave up on You,

You know him better than I do.


Lord,

Looking at him,

I sometimes find it hard to believe,

That You are in control.

It seems impossible,

To leave him in Your hands.

However O Lord,

You know him better than I do.


Lord,

Teach me to believe,

Teach him to believe,

Teach him to rely on You.

Fufil Your promise,

Keep Your Word,

Faithful Lord,

For You love him more than anyone does.
