I NEVER KNEW
© Words & Music By Sonja Peterson & Martha Miranda

I never knew His life till I laid my life down to Him
I never knew His sorrow till I tasted of His pain
I never knew His love till I was hated as He was
I never knew how heavy, how heavy was His cross

I never knew how empty I was till I was full
I never knew how thirsty I was until I drank
I never knew how hungry I was until I ate of the burden of His cross
I never knew till I knew

I know the power and the glory hidden in the cross
I know it, yes, I know it. I know it
Forever, shall I lift it

I never knew His glory until I knew His name
I never knew His power until I knew His shame
I never knew His suffering until I suffered too
At the hands of wicked men for the good I'd do

I know the power and the glory hidden in the cross
I know it, yes, I know it. I know it
Forever, shall I lift it
High above me, on me, in me, ever higher still
Till the whole of me is hidden in His perfect will

I never knew His life till I laid my life down to Him
I never knew His sorrow, till I tasted of His pain
