I Want To Know
Joe Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

While travelling through this world of sorrow

I'm on my way to gloryland

I'll not turn back for some tomorrow

My trials here I'll understand
Chorus
I want to know more (I want to know more) about my Jesus (yes I do)
I want to know more (yes I want to know more) about my Lord (my blessed Lord)
I want to know more (I want to know more) about that mansion (heavenly mansion)
I'm gonna receive (I'm gonna receive) as my reward (my rich reward)
I want to know more (I want to know more) about that homeland (wonderful homeland)
I mean to go there (I mean to go there) someday, somehow (someday, somehow)
And after I reach (and after I reach) that heavenly city (heavenly city)
I mean to know more (yes I'm gonna know more) that I know now (than I know now)

I'm glad I know the blessed savior

For through His blood He set me free

Though rough the road I shall not waiver

For some glad day His face I'll see


He promised when His soul ascended

""I'm coming back"" the Lord did say

If on His promise you've depended





On wings of love you'll soar away
