I want to know you better
Your light falling over my thoughts
Piercing the quiet darkness
That shadows my feelings, my heart
I want to feel your love pour out
In the silence of a still night
Coloring my soul in dreams fulfilled
By your guiding light, your insight
The wonder of your gentle flow
Of love so wonderful it breathes
A glow reflecting upon my feelings
I want to see you reach out to me
With a hand who created the world
Silence the darkness’ whispers
With kindness that captures hope
On the sunshine moments when I
Remember the love that fills me up
I want to understand your wonders
The freedoms you give to my spirit
The rise and fall of the sea’s waves
The whisper of a smile so fulfilling
Like music to brighten the winds
With soft sighs and miracles who believe
You are the risen Savior, the One
Who I praise with my every word
The King who makes my life worthwhile
I want to recognize your blessings
Being rained down from the heavens
Like a nourishing shower of compassion
Stirring the flames of kindness and praise
The music of a psalm which will calm
Every worry, each doubt, all the grief
That yearns to torture me with shame
Burden my mind with a fog of blame
I want to realize how far you’ve brought me
From the wretchedness of a lost thought
To the joy of unending hope, a silent prayer
Spoken on the soul of this love for Him who knows
Me like no other ever could, with a knowledge of
All that is bad and all that is good, every thought
That I have you know and comprehend, like a friend
Who is alive in my heart where your love flows
With its peace and hope, its tender warmth
Love that is gracious and grateful, so very thankful
For the One who lives in my heart, forever a part
Of my dreams, my feelings, my ideas – fulfilling
Without you, my Jesus, I’m not living
With you, I breathe this sense of giving
That fills me up with your Holy Spirit
