  Help Me Know You

Help Me Know You

                                                                                                          © Rachel Horn

  I need a space, time set apart,
To seek Your face, to find Your heart.
You say that I’m Your precious child…..
Father - help me know You.
 
  Shine Your light into my life,
Make the darkness fly away.
No longer hiding in the night
I’ll walk into a brand new day.
 
  How can it be, this awesome God
Sees such as me, and gives me love?
I’ve been so bad, what can I do?
Father - help me know You.

My wounded heart cries out in pain,
Meet me in my deepest need.
You know I want to start again,
Help me follow where You lead.

  As I reach out, You take my hand,
You hear me cry, You understand.
You give me love, You give me hope.
Father - help me know You.

Father- help me know You,
Father- I need to know You.

Song Notes

Inspiration for new songs comes from many different sources. The inspiration for this song came from a leaflet about prayer. It spoke about the need to set aside time and space to seek God in prayer, and so I did just that – I set aside some time to spend with God and to listen to Him.

As I waited quietly and expectantly, some words began to form in my mind:
“I need a space,
Time set apart,
To seek Your face,
To find Your heart……”

This song is deliberately raw and brash – it describes the feelings of someone who is lost and despairing, their life seemingly trapped in a downward spiral, maybe as the result of bad decisions and personal mistakes that they now regret - someone “hiding in the night”, full of darkness and hopelessness. Ashamed, they think they are just too “bad” and yet, there is a glimmer of hope - as they cry out to God, He reaches out to them, drawing them to the Father’s heart.

Sooner or later, we are all faced with our own failings – our sins - but as we reach out to God, He reaches out to us and however “bad” we may feel, by His mercy through Jesus He offers us forgiveness, and His grace is able to meet us in our need.

“If we say that we have no sin, we are deceiving ourselves and the truth is not in us.
If we confess our sins, He is faithful and righteous to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.”
1 John 1: 8, 9 NASB

When Jesus spoke again to the people, he said, "I am the light of the world. Whoever follows me will never walk in darkness, but will have the light of life."
John 8:12 NIV
