What a joy is it to know Jesus!

What a joy it is to know Jesus!
****
What an assurance we have of eternity!
That when we sleep in death we will be awake forever
That when this body grows weary, a new glorious one awaits
And if that wasn’t enough, we will dwell with him forever!
****
Oh that the world would know this King!
And climate change wouldn’t worry us a second
Death wouldn’t terrify us nor pain torment us
For while this creation fades the new glorious creation awaits
*****
Why do they reject you King Jesus?
Unless they be blind as bats
Cause the hearts of men to soften for the Gospel we pray
Bring light to their blind eyes and let eternal joy flow in hearts
*****
That together we may sing
What a joy it is to know you
And to live under your lordship
Before living with you forever
****
