Lyrics
Verse:
I’m reading my B-I-B-L-E
And this is what it says to me
It tells me that I’m never ever alone
I’m learning how J-E-S-U-S
Came down to us and gave His best
Without a doubt the best friend you’ll
ever know
Pre-Chorus:
Our God knows exactly what I need
So I remember this
Chorus:
When you ask He cares
When you seek He’s there
When you knock knock knock knock knock
God opens up the door

Meaning & Inspiration
Ask Seek Knock presents a child-friendly picture of trust in God through the simple actions of asking, seeking, and knocking. Its spelling-out of the Bible and Jesus gives the song an instructional character, while the repeated assurance that God knows every need keeps the focus on divine care rather than human effort. The language is direct and memorable, making the central confession easy for children to understand and repeat.
The chorus closely echoes Jesus’ teaching in Matthew 7:7-11, where asking, seeking, and knocking lead into a description of the Father giving good gifts. The song does not treat prayer as a formula for receiving anything desired; instead, it emphasizes that God cares, is present, and opens the door. The verse also connects knowledge of Jesus with Scripture, describing Christ as the faithful friend who came and gave his best. Together, these ideas frame Bible reading and prayer as responses to a loving God who does not leave his children alone.
