Oh, I want to know You more

Just the time I feel that I've been caught in the mire of self,
Just the time I feel my mind's been bought by worldly wealth,
That's when the Spirit begins to blow; I know the Spirit's call,
And all my worldly wanderings just melt into His love.





Oh, I want to know You more,
Deep within my soul I want to know You;
Oh, I want to know You,
To feel Your heart and know Your mind.
Looking into Your eyes stirs within me
Cries that say, "I want to know You; oh, I want to know You more."




And when my daily deeds ordinarily lose life and song,
My heart begins to bleed, sensitivity to Him is gone;
I've run the race but set my own pace and face a shattered soul.
Now the gentle arms of Jesus warm my hunger to behold.

Oh, I want to know You more,
Deep within my soul I want to know You;
Oh, I want to know You,
To feel Your heart and know Your mind.
Looking into Your eyes stirs within me
Cries that say, "I want to know You; oh, I want to know You more."

And I would give my final breath 

To know You in Your death and resurrection.

Oh, I want to know You more.

Oh, I want to know You, to know You more...

Listen to Steve Green sing Oh, I want to know You more!  I first heard it from one of his CDs and think the words (and music!) are a great Sunday afternoon meditation.
