To know You as my King
To know You in Your
Resurrection, power and suffering
To know You as my Teacher
To know You as my Light
To know You as the Lamp
Oh, I want to know You
Deeper than before
Oh, I want to know You
More and more
To know You as my Healer
To know You as my Love
To know You as my Advocate
To heaven's throne above
To know You as my Savior
To know You as my Lord
To know You as the coming King
Who reigns forevermore
To know You as Forgiver
To know You as my Friend
To know You as my Comforter
When all is crashing in
