I Know You Are . . .

I know You are my Saviour,
You've set me free from sin and shame.
But only because I asked You to forgive,
Will my life never be the same.

I know You are my Provider,
And that You will supply my every need;
But only of my necessity,
Not my want and not my greed.

I know You are my Shepherd,
Who will keep me safe from harm.
And as long as I choose to follow You,
You will shelter me 'neath Your arm.

I know You are my sword and shield,
And my strong and mighty tower.
But I need to admit my weakness Lord,
So You can reveal Your awesome power.

I know You are my well-spring of joy,
And You are the source of my peace.
And as long as I trust in You alone,
From fear and sorrow You'll bring release.

I know You are my all in all,
And I will follow no one but You.
And as I continue to walk in Your ways,
I know You'll be just and true.

I know You are faithful and cannot lie,
And I can believe all the promises You made.
So forever I'll put my trust in You.
And from now on I'll not be afraid.
