THE DIFFERENCE
(Now that I know Jesus)
By: H. R. Robinson

Jesus, has made the difference in my life.
I love Him,
Whom I’ve never seen,
And my love is real;
My love is true,
I thank God, my Father,
For His deliverance –
For, through Jesus, His Son,
He has brought me through.
Now, God’s Spirit
Walks me through His Holy Word,
So that I can see -
The many ways,
Throughout my life,
Heavenly grace has covered me.
His legions of angels all around -
Helped me through dangers
Seen and unseen.
He brought me forth –
From darkness to light
On and on
Into pastures green.
And, I thank Him so much,
For the gentle way,
By His Spirit,
He pours into my life;
As He leads me by the hand,
That I might be able
To walk with Him
In this sinful-unholy land.
Now, when I look at myself,
I try to see Jesus
And I try to envision
All that He endured;
His life, while here on earth,
Because God, His Father,
Ordained His Only Son
To have a human birth.
Temptations abounded -
Hurt, pain, betrayal,
From His, chosen, circle of friends.
The difference –
Still, He had no sin.
He had none, while I have many;
But, I have come to know,
That the blood He shed cleanses -
Washes all sin away;
And, each time it appears
As if I never had any.
I have all these things
Stored in my heart;
God’s Spirit helps me keep them alive.
For I now see Jesus,
My Savior,
With both heart and mind
I know that I’ll never
Be the same again
As I continue to grow,
And come to understand
My Lord’s journey here, as a man.
