to know You~ casting crowns

To know You is to never worry for my life,

And to know You is to never give in to compromise

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’s falling

To know You is to feel the pain of the broken hearted

Cause they can’t live without You

More than my next breath

More than life or death

All am reaching for, I live my life to know You more

I leave it all behind, You are 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 will be enough

Cause there is no life without You

All this life could offer me, could not compare to You, compare to You

And I count it all as lost, compared to knowing You, knowing You

“I tell you, do not worry about your life…” matthew 6:25

" that I may know Him, and the power of His resurrection, and the fellowship of His sufferings..." phillipians 3:10

“I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through Me. if you really know Me, you will know My Father as well. From now on, you do know Him and have seen Him.” john 14:6-7

“these commandments that I give you today are to be on your hearts. Impress them on your children. Talk about them when you sit at home and when you walk along the road, when you lie down and when you get up. tie them as symbols on your hands and bind them on your foreheads. Write them on the door-frames of your houses and on your gates.” Deuteronomy 6:6-9

My prayer is that I do not get tired of getting to know my Lord, that I’ll keep on pursuing Him and when I get weak and weary, pray for strength to carry on like the faithful soldier that He’s called me to be in His kingdom. I pray you pray the same too.
