Lyrics

Oh-oh-ohhh


Oh-oh-ohhh


If it was all about religion


What to do, what to say


What to wear on a Sunday


All about perfection


Black and white, wrong or right, never grey


Well, I'd never make it


I'd never be good enough (Oh-oh-ohhh)


I try to walk the line, pray that I'd find


Something that I knew was real


Began to realize, the harder I tried


The colder I'd start to feel


Until the moment, the second I met Your Love (Oh-oh-ohhh)


And then I threw my hands up, worries down


I remember when He showed me how


To break up with my doubt


Once I was lost, but now I'm found


No strings attached, when He saved my soul


I want you to know, the God I know


Oh, you gotta know, oh, the God I know


He is more than just a rescue


That's where it starts


Not where it ends, let freedom in


More than just a story, in the sky, wearing white


He's alive, in every moment


And now that I know this Love


(Oh-oh-ohhh)


I can throw my hands up, worries down


I remember when He showed me how


To break up, with my doubt


Once I was lost, but now I'm found


No strings attached, when He saved my soul


I want you to know, the God I know


Oh, you gotta know, oh, the God I know


What was I waiting for


I came alive when I let go


All I had was a broken heart


Then He held me in His arms


I can throw my hands up, worries down


I remember when He showed me how


To break up, with my doubt


Once I was lost, but now I'm found


No strings attached, when He saved my soul


I want you to know, the God I know


Oh, you gotta know, oh, the God I know


What was I waiting for


I came alive when I let go


All I had was a broken heart


Then He held me in His arms


What was I waiting for


I came alive when I let go


All I had was a broken heart


Then He held me in His arms


Oh-oh-ohhh, oh-oh-ohhh, oh-oh-ohhh

Meaning & Inspiration

“The God I Know” contrasts rule-centered religion with a transforming encounter with divine love. The opening verses describe frustration with perfectionism and the coldness produced by trying to become good enough through effort. The turning point arrives when grace replaces anxiety: doubt loosens its hold, the lost person is found, and salvation is received without conditions.

The chorus uses raised hands and laid-down worries as signs of freedom and trust. Later lines insist that Christ is alive and active rather than merely a distant religious figure or story. Rescue is presented as a beginning that opens into an ongoing life of freedom. The image of a broken heart held in God’s arms adds tenderness to the song’s account of restoration. Its lost-and-found language clearly echoes Jesus’ parables in Luke 15, while the movement from burdensome striving to gracious salvation also fits the New Testament contrast between works and grace. Overall, the song celebrates relationship with God as living, personal, and restorative.
