I knew

These song lyrics touched my spirit deeply this weekend.
God's grace in infinite! I'm grateful.
Help us to know you God - the true you.
God singing to us: I knew what I was getting into by Misty Edwards


I knew what I was getting into when I called you.
I knew what I was getting into when I said your name, but I said it just the same.
I knew what I was getting into and I still want you.
I knew what I was getting into and I still choose you.

And I am not shocked by your weakness
And I am not shocked even by your sin
And I am not shocked by your brokenness
'Cause only I can see the end from the beginning
And only I can see where this is going

And I see in you the seeds of love
And I see in you strength when all you see is your failure
and all you feel is ashamed.
I can see deeper than that, I know you better than that.

You're only at the beginning, you've only just begun
and I know where you are going.
and all you can see in the moment is that you're hurting.
And all you can see in the moment is that you're aching.

Just don't give up and don't give in
If you don't quit you win, you win
Just don't give up and don't give in
If you don't quit you win, you win!

Everything is in my hands and it's going to be alright
It's going to be okay.
And you don't have to pretend to be something or someone you're not
b/c I know you better than that, even better, even better than that.

I knew what I was getting into when I called you.
I knew what I was getting into when I said your name, but I said it just the same.
I knew what I was getting into and I still want you.
I knew what I was getting into and I still choose you.
