Know You More - Chris August

It’s been a while

I’m overdue

To take some time

And spend it with You

I’m free right now

I’d love to talk

And learn to listen

To know You more than just a religion

Cause I’m missing out

Sure I could sing You a song

And learn from a speech

That I heard in a church

At the start of the week

And it’s good

But that can’t be all

Cause I can recite you a prayer

I read in a book

What good is my heart

If I still overlook

The true intention of love

The time that I take

Will just be a waste

If I stop to see

But never to taste

Speak to me Lord

I wanna know You more

The surface cracked

The depths revealed

What I have lacked is something real

Good thing it’s not too late

Cause I can’t ignore

My need for more

Of what I was created for

Made to know and love You everyday

Sure I could speak of the truth

And learn every fact

But to be about You

Means that I interact

My heart with the one who made it

Cause Lord I have preached of the ways

That the gospel can save

Then kept living my life

Like nothing had changed

But I’m changing now

For the one who has waited

The time that I take

Will just be a waste

If I stop to see

But never to taste

Speak to Me Lord

I wanna know You more

I stood in awe but never ventured to pursue

The one who left an open door to let me through

But now I’m running strait to what I know is true

Oh if I want to love You I have got to know You

The time that I take

Will just be a waste

If I stop to see

But never to taste

Speak to me Lord

Cause I wanna know You more

I wanna know You more
