Lyrics Verified by Editorial Team

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 says 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 own pace

And face a shattered soul,

But [And] the gentle arms of Jesus

Warm my hungering (omit 'ring') 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 breathe

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
