Anthem Lights' song "I Wanna Know You Like That" is a passionate worship anthem expressing a deep desire to know God intimately and live wholeheartedly for Him. The lyrics reference a pastor who, despite losing his church to rain, remains determined to rebuild, and David, who despite his failures, pursued God's heart and faced giants with faith. The song emphasizes giving everything, loving with all one's being, and becoming a person after God's own heart. It also carries a missional theme, as the singer wants to help others see God and never stop until everyone is singing His praise. Overall, it's a call to radical devotion and surrender.

(I wanna know)
Just today
I heard a story of a pastor far away
Who watched his church walls fall with the rain
With tears in his eyes
Here is what he had say
"Let's reach the ones that will rebuild this place"
I wanna know You like that
To live, to love
With everything I am
To give it all
I wanna know You like that
To become
A man after Your heart
And not look back
I wanna know You like that
I wanna know
I wanna know
I wanna know...
Like David did
He lived a life this world cannot forget
He'd fall so hard then get back up again
Then face the giant knowing he would win
Because You were with him
I wanna know You like that
To live, to love
With everything I am
To give it all
I wanna know You like that
To become
A man after Your heart
And not look back
I wanna know You like that
With every breath I breathe
I wanna help others see
And I will never stop
'Til everybody's singing
With every breath I breathe
I wanna help others see
And I will never stop
'Til everybody's singing
I wanna know You like that
To live, to love
With everything I am
To give it all
I wanna know You like that
To become
A man after Your heart
And not look back
I wanna know You like that
To live, to love
With everything I am
I'll give it all
I wanna know You like that
Lord, to become
A man after Your heart
And not look back
I wanna know You like that
I wanna know, I wanna know
I wanna know, I wanna know
I wanna know You like that
I wanna know, I wanna know
I wanna know, I wanna know
I wanna know You like that
