Philippians 3:8-10 More than that, I count all things to be loss in view of the surpassing value of knowing Christ Jesus my Lord, for whom I have suffered the loss of all things, and count them but rubbish so that I may gain Christ, and may be found in Him, not having a righteousness of my own derived from the Law, but that which is through faith in Christ, the righteousness which comes from God on the basis of faith, that I may know Him and the power of His resurrection and the fellowship of His sufferings, being conformed to His death.
(Dear, Lord, You know that I love You
More than anything else in all the world
And how often I want to lift my voice
To sing praise to You
But so any times the busyness of my life
Makes You seem so far away
But deep within me I can feel the gentle nudge of Your love
And that is what I know it's all that really matters is knowing You)
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 breeze 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 in Your eyes stirs up within me
Cries that say I want to know You
Oh, I want to know You more
Oh, I want to know You more
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 pace and face a shattered soul
But the gentle arms of Jesus warm my hungering to be whole
Oh, I want to know You more
Deep within my soul, I want to know You
Oh, I want to know You
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 more
Oh, I want to know You more
It's well past midnight
And I'm awake with questions that won't wait for daylight
Separating fact from my imaginary fiction
On this shelf of my conviction
I need to find a place
Where You and I come face to face
Thomas needed proof that You had really risen
Undefeated
When he placed his fingers where the nails once broke Your skin
Did his faith finally begin
I've lied if I've denied
The common ground I've shared with him
And I really want to know You
I want to make each day
A different way that I can show You how
I really want to love You
Be patient with my doubt
I'm just trying to figure out Your will
And I really want to know You still
Nicodemus could not understand how You could
Truly free us he struggled with the image
Of a grown man born again
We might have been good friends
'Cuz sometimes I still question too
How easily we come to You
No more camping on the porch of indecision
No more sleeping under stars of apathy
And it might be easier to dream
But dreaming's not for me
I want to know You
I want to know You
