'That we might know Him' this is what we long
These thoughts of Him that carry us along
The Spirit leading us into His Ways
Where He is chief and foremost in our gaze
All music is His song.
Oh, lift Him high, along this furrowed way
And see His footsteps in His light of day
The night is dark, cling tightly to His side
In knowing Him and all that He's supplied
The only place to stay.
What wondrous things would Jesus have us know
And secrets of His Kingly heart to show
With Living Waters that will not grow dry
As springing from the Majesty on high
A heavenly overflow.
This, this, is what we've all been waiting for
Knowledge of Him, through faith our souls adore
The final resting place our hearts will find
Our eyes are open now, when once were blind
And heavenly things explore.
This 'knowing' now, can only ever be
The Spirit's work and craftsmanship to see
How each of us a special jewel holds
As step by step His beauty He unfolds
Through all eternity.
