I don't want to walk through the motions
If I miss the great invitation
To know You God
I don't want to check all the boxes
Living unaware of Your Presence
I want to know You God
I want to know You God
I want to know You
More than just know about You
I want to know You as You are
I want to see You
Open the doorway of my heart
I want to know You as You are
I don't want a halfway devotion
Or another passing emotion
I want to know You God
You're not a God of my own invention
You're bigger than I'd ever imagine
I want to know You God
I want to know You God
I want to know You
More than just know about You
I want to know You as You are
I want to see You
Open the doorway of my heart
I want to know You as You are
My comfort
Counselor
My everlasting Father
My helper
My healer
My constant friend and Savior
My armor
Protector
My Champion forever
My author
Finisher
You hold my faith together
I want to know You
More than just know about You
I want to know You as You are
I want to see You
Open the doorway of my heart
I want to know You as You are
I want to know You
More than just know about You
I want to know You as You are
I want to see You
Open the doorway of my heart
I want to know You as You are
