We Have Not Known Thee
by Sackcloth and Ashes

Album: Sackcloth and Ashes Live

Verse 1
We have not known Thee as we ought
Nor learned Thy wisdom grace and power
The things of earth have filled our thought,
And trifles of the passing hour
We have not feared Thee as we ought, nor bowed beneath Thine awesome eye
Nor guarded deed and word and thought, Remembering that God was nigh

Chorus 1
Lord give us light… Thy truth to see… And make us wise in knowing Thee
Lord give us faith… To know Thee near… And grant the grace of holy fear

Verse 2
We have not loved Thee as we ought, nor cared that we are loved by thee
They presence we have coldly sought and feebly longed Thy face to see
We have not served Thee as we ought, oh the duties left undone
The work with little fervor wrought, the battles lost or scarcely won

Chorus 2
Lord give a pure… And loving heart… to feel and know the love Thou art
Lord give the Zeal… And give the might… For Thee to toil for Thee to fight
