Ryan Stevenson's song 'You Already Know' is a worshipful reflection on God's omniscience and intimate knowledge of every believer's life. The lyrics marvel at how God knows our words, thoughts, and steps before we take them, and how our lives are part of His divine design. The song expresses awe at God's deep love and the mystery of His understanding, while also celebrating the comfort of His presence, especially in times of drifting or drowning. It acknowledges God's hand in salvation and the Holy Spirit's indwelling, bringing assurance that we are never alone. The overall tone is one of trust, gratitude, and surrender to God's sovereign care.

Oh Lord, you know
Every word I'm gonna say long before
My lips begin to speak
Oh Lord, you know
Anticipate my every thought long before
My mind has time to think
Your understanding of my souls' a mystery
I can't begin to comprehend a love so deep
You already know, you already know
Every step of faith I take, and everyone I don't
The details of my life
Were etched in your design
Everything that's left behind
And all the future holds
Lord, you already know
You already
You already
You already
Lord, you already know
You already
You already
You already know
Oh Lord, you saw who you created me to be long before I'd seen the light of day
Oh Lord, my heart, you read it like and open book all my days you wrote on every page
Your understanding of my soul's a mystery
And I can't begin to comprehend a love so deep
You already know, you already know
Every step of faith I take, and everyone I don't
The details of my life
Were etched in your design
Everything that's left behind
And all the future holds
Lord, you already know
You already
You already
You already
Lord, you already know
You already
You already
You already know
I saw you holding out your hand when you found me
Without an anchor I was drifting I was drowning
Overflow my heart with love it was abounding
Gave me eyes to see I felt your presence all around me
And I saw light inside the dark, you put life inside my bones
Holy spirit in my mind now I know I'm not alone
You already know, you already know
Every step of faith I take, and everyone I don't
The details of my life
Were etched in your design
Everything that's left behind
And all the future holds
Lord, you already know
You already
You already
You already
Lord, you already know
You already
You already
You already know
You already
You already
You already
Lord, you already know
You already
You already
You already know
