Lyrics

"WHAT YOU KNEW" (5:30)
Coyotes are howling out my window
And the whole world seems dark and wild
As I gaze up at this dark desert night
I try to imagine Your smile

Did You admire the mountains tall
Or stoop to hug a child
Did Your eyes fill with tears
When You were reviled

Knowing You were the Son of God
Who became the Son of Man
Knowing the Father gave You life
To take it back again

(Chorus 1)

But no matter how much I imagine, one fact I know is true
How hard it must have been To live Your life
Knowing what You knew

How on that cold and lonely night
You shed Your blood, sweat, and tears
Imagining death on the cross
Imagining the fear

Now I stare up at the star-filled night
And I'll always wonder why
How it all came about, for us to live
That You'd be picked to die

I hope sometimes You laughed, Lord
And through all the pain You knew
2000 years after Your birth
We'd still be praising You

(Chorus 1)

No matter how much I imagine, one fact I know is true
How hard it must have been to live Your life
Knowing what You knew

(Chorus 2)

And no matter how I imagine, one fact I know is true
What a gift you gave
Knowing what you knew

(Chorus 1)

And no matter how much I imagine, one fact I know is true
How hard it must have been to live Your life
Knowing what you knew

(Chorus 2)

And no matter how much I imagine, one fact I know is true
What a gift You gave
Knowing what you knew
