Lyrics
You have been and You will be
You have seen and You will see
You know when I rise and when I fall
When I come or go You see it all
You hung the stars and you move the sea
And still You know me
Whoa oh oh oh oh oh oh
oh oh oh You know me
Whoa oh oh oh oh oh oh
oh oh oh You know me
Nothing is hidden from Your sight
Wherever I go, You find me
You know every detail of my life
You are God and You don't miss a thing
You memorize me

Meaning & Inspiration
“You Know Me” is a worshipful meditation on God’s complete knowledge of a person’s life. It moves from His enduring presence and sovereign power to intimate details such as rising, falling, coming, and going. The contrast between the God who placed the stars and moves the sea and the God who notices every detail gives the song its central sense of awe. Nothing is hidden, yet divine attention is portrayed as steady and personal rather than distant.
The lyrics strongly echo Psalm 139, where God knows every movement, perceives every thought, and remains present wherever the psalmist goes. They also reflect the biblical picture of a Creator who names the stars while caring closely for His people. The repeated declaration “You know me” therefore functions as both confession and reassurance. Its simple language supports reflective worship centered on God’s omniscience, faithful presence, and attentive care through every change in life.
