i live to know you more...

I was listening to this song today, and I felt like I needed to post these lyrics to all the people I know who are worshippers. The words are simple, but lately this has been a mediation of mine. As storms come and go, there is laughter and pain, I have been repeating this quietly under my breath...

You hold it all at once

The earth and all within

You look with eyes of love

To the sons of man

That I am known by You

Compels my heart to sing

I live to know You more

I live to know You more

I live to know You more

For me to live is Christ

To know You is my life

The storms will come and go

There's laughter and there's pain

Your kindness leads me on

To the light again

So I live and breathe

And find myself in You

I live to know You

I live to know You

I live to know You more

I count it all but loss

Compared to knowing You

I give my life away

To know You any day.

(To know You more, Hillsong)
