Lyrics

Verse 1


You hold it all at once
The earth and all within
You look with eyes of love
To the sons of man
That I am known by You
Compels my heart to sing


Chorus


I live to know You more
I live to know You more
I live to know You more
For me to live is Christ
To know You is my life


Verse 2


The storms will come and go
There's laughter and there's pain
Your kindness leads me on
To the light again
So I live and breathe
And find myself in You


Chorus (Repeat, shortened)


I live to know You
I live to know You
I live to know You more


Bridge


I count it all but loss
Compared to knowing You
I give my life away
To know You any day

Meaning & Inspiration

"Know You More" opens by describing God's scope directly, holding the entire earth at once while still looking with eyes of love toward individual people. That pairing, cosmic scale and personal attention, frames the entire song around being fully known by someone who also holds everything else.

Its chorus borrows a well-known phrase nearly word for word, naming life itself as Christ and knowledge of Him as the entire content of that life. Repeating that declaration across both verses ties the song's central desire, knowing God more, to a settled identity rather than a passing spiritual goal.

Rooted in contemporary worship's confessional anthem tradition, the song functions as an extended declaration that knowing God exceeds every other pursuit, its closing bridge counting everything else as loss by comparison, echoing a well-known biblical renunciation of achievement in favor of a single, surpassing relationship.
