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 have been
And You will be
And 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
And nothing is hidden from Your sight
Wherever I go, You find me
And You know every detail of my life
And You are God and You don't miss a thing
And nothing is hidden from Your sight
Wherever I go, You find me
And You know every detail of my life
And You are God and You don't miss a thing
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
Whoa oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh, You know me
Whoa oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh
You memorize me

Meaning & Inspiration
“You Know Me” reflects on God’s complete knowledge of a person’s life without losing sight of His greatness. The contrast is central: the One who hung the stars and moves the sea also notices rising, falling, coming, and going. That language closely echoes Psalm 139, where ordinary movement, hidden thoughts, and every destination remain open before God. The repeated phrase “You know me” turns divine omniscience into personal assurance rather than distant doctrine.
The bridge strengthens that assurance by declaring that nothing is hidden from God’s sight and no detail escapes His attention. God’s presence reaches every place, while His unchanging existence frames each moment of human life. The final phrase, “You memorize me,” poetically emphasizes intimate knowledge, not merely awareness from afar. Through repetition and simple images of creation, movement, and visibility, the song presents worship rooted in being fully seen by the Creator. Its focus rests on God’s enduring presence, careful attention, and unmatched knowledge.
