To Know You

Romans 8:29 is a huge verse that redefined a lot of things for me several years back, and it says that God is conforming me into the image of His Son. His goal for my life is to make me like Jesus - to bring Him glory. Everything else is rubbish, Paul says, compared to knowing Him. And if my life goal is really to know Him and to honor Him, is He going to steer me off a cliff? No. Is this easy to say and hard to do? Yeah. But that doesn’t make it untrue. That’s good stuff because it takes the pressure off of me. There are no forks in my road; my road is knowing Jesus. We always include Scripture in the CD packaging for every song. For “To Know You” we actually have Scripture noted after every line. Every line in the song is a different thing Paul said about a different situation and a different thing he was dealing with or fighting against or having victory over.

To know You is to never worry for my life
To know You is to never give into compromise and
To know You is to want to tell the world about You
‘Cause I can’t live without You

To know You is to hear Your voice when You are calling
To know You is to catch my brother when he is falling
To know You is to feel the pain of the brokenhearted
‘Cause they can’t live without You

More than my next breath
More than life or death
All I’m reaching for, I live my life to know You more
I leave it all behind, You’re all that satisfies
To know You is to want to know You more
To know You is to want to know You more

To know You is to ache for more than ordinary
To know You is to look beyond the temporary
To know You is believing that You’ll be enough
‘Cause there’s no life without You

All this life could offer me
Could not compare to You, compare to You
And I count it all as loss
Compared to knowing You, knowing You

All this life could offer me
Could not compare to You, compare to You
And I count it all as loss
Compared to knowing You, knowing You

And I count it all as loss
Compared to knowing You, knowing You
