She Knew Jesus
A Tapestry of Faith and Memory: She Knew Jesus
Lyrics
I remember seventeen
I recall the age of seventeen
And cherish every memory
Appreciate and value each memory
I wish I could go back for just a moment in time
Desire to revisit that period momentarily
And even though its been a while
Despite the time that has passed
I hear her laugh I see her smile
I can hear her laughter and see her smile
You'd never know a friend quite like mine
Describing a unique and special friendship
'Cause she knew Jesus
She had a deep connection with Jesus
You could see it in her eyes
This connection was evident in her eyes
She had this different kind of light
She possessed a distinct inner light
That only comes from above
This light is attributed to a divine source
She knew Jesus
Reiteration of her relationship with Jesus
She was acquainted with his ways
Familiarity with the teachings and ways of Jesus
She lived with joy and full of grace and in his love
Lived with joy, grace, and in the love of Jesus
She knew Jesus
Emphasizing her profound connection with Jesus
No-one could've seen this coming
A sudden and unexpected event
Loss might always seem so sudden
Loss can feel abrupt and surprising
But eighteen feels too young to be called home
Commenting on the untimely nature of death at eighteen
And a new legacy means someone's leaving
A new legacy is formed as someone departs
And time's a thief that leaves you grieving
Time is described as a thief causing grief
So we hold on to the only hope I know
Clutching onto the only hope available
That she knew Jesus
Reiteration of her profound connection with Jesus
You could see it in her eyes
Her connection evident in her eyes
She had this different kind of light
Distinct inner light attributed to a divine source
That only comes from above
Reaffirming the divine nature of her light
She knew Jesus
Highlighting her deep relationship with Jesus
And he made purpose from the pain
Jesus brought purpose from her pain
No, her life was not in vain because of him
Her life was meaningful because of Jesus
She knew Jesus
Reiteration of her profound connection with Jesus
She knew Jesus
Repetition for emphasis
She knew Jesus
Further emphasis on her relationship with Jesus
She knew Jesus
Continued emphasis on her deep connection
You could see it in her eyes
Her connection evident in her eyes
She had this different kind of light
Distinct inner light attributed to a divine source
That only comes from above
Reaffirming the divine nature of her light
She knew Jesus
Reiteration of her profound connection with Jesus
I can picture in my mind
Imagining her state in my mind
I know she's healed and held forever in his arms
Believing she is healed and eternally embraced by Jesus
It can be bittersweet because I know his heart
Acknowledging the bittersweet feelings
And maybe heaven really isn't so far
Speculating that heaven may not be distant
'Cause she knew Jesus
Final confirmation of her deep connection with Jesus
