Little Did They Know

Little Did They Know

Little did they know—the word had been made flesh.
Little did they recognize—God’s love, Christ’s selflessness.
Little did they understand—the spirit He would send.
Little did they see the joy—that Calv’ry’s cross would win.

Yet Jesus was the word made flesh, the fulness of God’s grace.
The Father’s love poured out to men, His servant in disgrace.
The promised comforter did come, and now it’s Christ within.
The grave and death are overcome, eternal life we win.

Now we are to daily know—and walk by Spirit’s call.
Now we are to recognize—why Christ gave us his all.
Now we are to understand—and with all saints enjoy,
The wonders of His joy and peace—to be God’s girl or boy.
