I Wish They Knew

I Wish They Knew

I wish they knew how much I do for them

I wish they knew how much I care for them.

I wish they knew how much I sacrifice,

I wish they knew that I, I love them.

And all we like sheep,

have gone astray

Lord we need a Master-Teacher

to show us the Way

And I want to humble,

myself and Pray

Lord give me the strength

For another day

And Lord you know

that I need You

And Lord you know

that I love You

I wish he knew how much I can show him.

I wish he knew how much I can teach him.

I wish he how much grace there is to give

I wish he knew that I, I love him.

And all we like sheep,

have gone astray

Lord we need a Master-Teacher

to show us the Way

And I want to humble,

myself and Pray

Give me the strength

For another day

And Lord you know

that I need You

And Lord you know

that I love You

This poem / song (there are words) was written not originally by pen and pencil, but it was a song etched into my brain while riding on the bus. (I didn’t have pen and paper with me, so I had to memorize it until I could run home to type it all out.) While I was on the bus going back home after a stressful day at school— I was reflecting on the times my students don’t listen. As I began reflecting, I realized that my feelings mirror Christ feelings for me. Quickly this song / poem turned into a song from God’s Voice, with humanity’s response. Can you spot which sections are which?
