Charles Jenkins - Just To Know Him Lyrics

Just to Know Him presents Jesus through a series of personal titles: Redeemer, Savior, substitute, and Provider. Each name is tied to the cross and to the everlasting life made available through Christ. The repeated desire to know him keeps the song centered not merely on receiving benefits, but on relationship with “Jesus Christ the Son of the Living God.”

The lyric’s language of Christ taking another’s place reflects the New Testament witness that he bore sins so that sinners might live in righteousness. Its confession of the Son of the living God also recalls Peter’s declaration about Jesus’ identity. The closing assurance that Christ cares for people adds tenderness to the song’s doctrinal focus. Together, these ideas form a concise worship meditation on redemption, substitution, eternal life, and divine care, with the refrain serving as both confession and longing.
