To know God, to see His face, to hear His voice not only do we have to seek Him in the quietness of the day but we need to allow Him access to those secret places.
Because I want to know You more.
It's only when I allow God into the secret places of my heart that I can know Him more. I need to be willing to surrender every part of my life to Him.
Is there sin that you think is hidden secretly in your heart?
Jesus is the highest prize, to be refined into His image, to be with Him. To KNOW Him!
With every breath I breathe I pray...
I want to hear Your voice
I want to know You more
I want to touch You
I want to see Your face
I want to know You more
That is beautiful! I love that song too and I want to be in the secret place with Him all the time!
ReplyDeleteMuch love.

I really enjoy this song, too! It just makes me want to get up and dance and sing my praises to God. While typically this is a good thing, I always seem to hear it played on the radio when I'm driving... not always a good time for dancing. :)
ReplyDeleteYes. I do spend more time doing other things than being with Jesus? And that is exactly what I was thinking when I heard this song. This week, my heart has been saying "I want to know You more." But I haven't been following through to the degree that I want to. It was the perfect song for me to hear.
ReplyDeleteI love this song. Your post puts my head to thinking. I believe we all have room for Jesus to fill that we are holding back on. Thanks for sharing words that pricked my heart and cause me to focus more on him.
ReplyDeleteThis is a great song and a reminder to "be still and know" and get to know my God and let Him get to know me!
ReplyDeleteThis is such a great song! May it be the song that I sing AND the walk that I walk!
ReplyDeleteI love what you said about how we need to let Him have access to the "secret" places in our lives. He truly does want to touch every area of our lives! I need to surrender more!
Thanks for sharing this song and what God has been speaking to your heart!
Blessings!
I love this song - I also enjoyed your thoughts about it.
ReplyDeleteI never really thought of it that way. Thanks for sharing the song today. I have a new perspective!
ReplyDeleteI love this song too, and it fits so perfectly with your message. Thanks for the reminder : )

I've always thought the song was about exactly what you wrote. As new Christians, it might be about less--just simply "knowing" on a superficial basis, but as we grow, we can only know Him when we let Him into the secret places of our lives and hearts. To ponder today: what part of my heart am I still keeping hidden, so deeply that I am not overtly aware of it??? hmmmmmmmmm
ReplyDeleteWonderful song!
ReplyDeleteLove this song and the message it brings. We only deceive ourselves when we think we have something "hidden" in our hearts. Our God knows us, and more about us, than we even know ourselves. It is ourselves that we deceive.

Your awesome my friend!! Thanks for the song:)
ReplyDeleteSuch wonderful thoughts, very conficting! Thanks for challenging me to think "What am I withholding, and hiding" or think I'm hiding that keeps me from growing closer to Him!
ReplyDeleteThis is the desire of my heart... to know Him more. I hate that I get so distracted by other things in life sometimes that I forget this and don't spend as much time in my secret place with Him as I should. Thanks for posting this reminder!
ReplyDeleteone of my favorite praise songs. brings back all kinds of memories with our old youth group.
ReplyDeletei love it because it's loud and fast paced. but even more, because of the words. i DO want to know HIM more.
