I Want To Know You, Lord

By Synthia Robinson-Pack

I want to know you, Lord, as a husband knows his wife,

Loving her dearly, more than his own life.

I want to know you, Lord, as a mother knows her son,

With all of his gifts and weaknesses, each and every one.

I want to know you, Lord, as a archeologist knows his ruins,

Even though he has to piece it from finds that are strewn.

I want to know you, Lord, as a musician knows his scales,

How to play them clearly, always without fail.

I want to know you, Lord, as a child knows his dad,

Always running to him for comfort when hurt or sad.

I want to know you, Lord, as a writer knows his words,

Discovering and documenting things that are unheard.

I want to know you, Lord, as a physicist knows his math,

Solving complex problems correctly and fast.

I want to know you, Lord, as one knows his best friend,

Always trying to advise, help, protect and defend.

I want to know you, Lord, as a passionate lover,

Who will not turn away her face to look upon another.

I want to know you, Lord, like a mother knows her daughter,

Encouraging her dreams and pushing her even farther.

I want to know you, Lord, as a servant knows his master,

Trying to serve cheerfully, effectively and faster.

I want to know you, Lord, as you know me,

Uninhibitedly, fully, and intimately.
