...on a little encouragement

It's friday and I just thought I'd kick start the weekend by sharing this lovely song with you all.  I posted the lyrics underneath, as well.  I hope this encourages you as you head into your weekend!

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

I knew what I was getting into, and I still chose you
I knew what I was getting into, and I still want you
I knew what I was getting into, and I still said Your name, I said it just the same
I knew what I was getting into

I am not shocked by your weakness
I am not shocked even by your sin
I am not shocked by your brokenness

I knew what I was getting into and I still want you
I knew what I was getting into and I still like you
I knew what I was getting into and I still chose you

Cause only I can see the end from the beginning
And only I can see where this is going
Only I can see the end from the beginning
And I see anew the seeds of love
And I see in you strength

When all you see is your failure
And all you feel is shame
I can see deeper than that
I know you better than, 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, 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 like you

You're only at the beginning
You've only just begun
And I know where you are going
And all you can see is the moment that you're hurting
And all you can see is the moment that you're aching
But listen;

I knew what I was getting into when I called you
I knew what I was getting into, and I still want you
I knew what I was getting into, and I still like you
I knew what I was getting into, when I called you

Just don't give up
And don't give in
If you don't quit, you'll win, you'll win

Everything is in my hands
It's gonna be alright

Everything is in my hands
It's gonna be alright
It's gonna be okay

Everything is in my hands
It's gonna be alright
It's gonna be okay

And you don't have to pretend to be something or someone that you're not
Cause I know you better than that
Even better, even better than that

Listen my beloved;
I knew what I was getting into when I called you
I knew what I was getting into when I said your name, I said it just to say
I knew what I was getting into, and I still like you
I knew what I was getting into, and I still chose you
