You Are More
Hillsong Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
The earth and all within
You look with eyes of love
To the sons of man
That I am known by You
Compels my heart to sing
I live to know You more
I live to know You more
For me to live is Christ
To know You is my life
The storms will come and go
There's laughter and there's pain
Your kindness leads me on
To the light again
So I live and breathe
And find myself in You
I live to know You
I live to know You
I live to know You more
I count it all but loss
Compared to knowing You
I give my life away
To know You any day
The lyrics to "Know You More" is a testament to the beauty of a relationship with God. The song begins by acknowledging that God holds everything in His hands, from the earth to every living being. The song is also a reminder that God loves mankind and desires to be known by them. Knowing God is enough reason for the heart to sing. The chorus declares a burning desire to know Him more, with a profound realization that living is not complete until we know God.
The second verse of the song acknowledges that life is unpredictable; however, God's kindness leads us out of any darkness and guides us back into the light. The bridge of the song emphasizes the magnificence of knowing God, stating that everything else in life is insignificant compared to Him. The song ultimately gives a picture of someone who has willingly given up everything for a relationship with God.

You Are More
Hillsong Worship
On the day I called
You answered me
And the hope in my soul increased
I lift my hands
And turn my eyes
To the God who heals my heart
And gives me peace
You are more than
My words could ever say
You are Lord over all
Over all of my days
I will see this season through
I will fix my eyes on You
Only You
Only You
I worship You
And lift You high
God forever let Your name be glorified
I lift my voice
And sing Your name
For you gave Your life to cleanse my sin
And took away my shame
You are more than
My words could ever say
You are Lord over all
Over all of my days
I will see this season through
I will fix my eyes on You
Only You
Only…

Please Pray for God to meet and save me and my family.
Pray for peace with the Lord and harmony in Him.
Pray that evil spirits do not disturb our family.
I'm korean.
I believe in the Lord who listens to our prayers.
And they said,
Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ,
and thou shalt be saved,
and thy house.
Acts 16 : 31
