The Few Who Understand
So few could understand Him and the reason He was here
Though if they stopped and listened He made all His reasons clear
The reason for His mission to bring knowledge unto men
Who knew so little of Him Who was here to take their sin
The reason why He healed them who were broken sick and lame
Who found the mighty power of God was spoken in His name
Who found also the peace of Him was more than they had known
For all the years they thought just being Jews made them God's own
And those who found a refuge from the sinful things they'd done
When listening to how God gave them mercy through His Son
The Lamb of God the Prince of Peace the One Almighty King
Who left His home in glory to provide them everything
That by them could be needed for their home in Paradise
Their passport into heaven through His perfect Sacrifice
And more than that an honored place before His awesome throne
That He declared would be reward for those who were His own
And yet though much's been written of the time that He was here
Though studying the scriptures make His mission loud and clear
Still just as was past written still is in this present day
Man's ignorance has no regard for why we need to pray
More earnestly than ever as we see what's soon to come
And realize the power of the one those things come from
That will shake the foundations of those things that we believe
Unless our love for Jesus is what we use to receive
His blessings with His promises that come each day by grace
Received in time we spend with Him before His loving face
That shines His light upon us through the words we stop and read
And through His Spirit's prompting that our will in Him might heed
Each lesson that is waiting holding power yet unseen
The power of His Gospel men still fail on which to lean
That Gospel that's survived the years of persecution's wrath
Upon the true and faithful who still walk the Saviour's path
And like Him share that message all of heaven longs to see
That message pure and simple yet with great complexity
That's ours for the taking understanding and believe
As morning after morning His true Spirit we receive
