Know You More
by Chris August

Album: Everything After

Verse 1
It's been a while, I'm overdue
To take some time and spend it with You
I'm free right now
I'd love to talk and learn to listen
To know You more than just a religion
'Cause I've been missin' out

Chorus 1
Sure I could sing You a song
And learn from a speech
That I heard in a church
At the start of the week
And it's good
But that can't be all
'Cause I can recite You a prayer
I read in a book
But what good is my heart
If I still overlook the truth
In tension of love

Post-Chorus
The time that I take
Will be just a waste
If I stop to see
But never to taste
Speak to me Lord
I wanna know You more

Verse 2
The surface cracked, the depths revealed
What I have lacked is something real
Good thing it's not too late
'Cause I can't ignore my need for more
Of what I was created for
Made to know and love You everyday

Chorus 2
Sure I could speak of the truth
And learn every fact
But to be about You
Means that I am at rest
My heart with the One who made it
'Cause Lord, I have preached of the ways
That the Gospel can save
Yet kept living my life
Like nothing had changed
But I'm changing now
For the One who has waited

Post-Chorus
The time that I take
Will be just a waste
If I stop to see
But never to taste
Speak to me Lord
I wanna know You more

Bridge
I stood in awe but never ventured to pursue
The One who left an open door to let me through
But now I'm running straight to what I know is true
Oh if I want to love You
I have got to know You

Post-Chorus
The time that I take
Will be just a waste
If I stop to see
But never to taste
Speak to me Lord
'Cause I wanna know...
You more

Outro
I wanna know... You more
