I Learned What I Should Never Know

I learned what I should never know,
I saw what wasn’t meant for me to see.
Now a path is laid within my heart below –
To spread the Good News, bold and free.

Grant me a conscience pure and bright,
Give me words that speak the light.
Help me grasp Your wondrous way,
And keep Your holy light aglow.

May I never wound the Holy Spirit,
By whom I’ve been sealed, set apart.
May I keep a listening heart in prayer,
When I speak with You before I sleep, Lord.

Let my faith in You endure,
In You, my God, the joy of all my days.
Let me aid the missionary’s call,
And show Your love – it knows no walls.
