Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Know me like I do
I know I'm nothing without You
I need Your spirit in my heart
Show me ways I'll never depart

Now all I need to say is how much I need You

You're all I long to see

My friend who gave His life for me
Youre All I Long to be
Jesus, the Hero inside of me is You

Jesus, You're my Hero

Jesus, You're my Hero
Jesus, Jesus, Jesus the hero in me

The lyrics "Know me like I do" reveal an invitation to be completely known by Jesus, acknowledging that He is the one who truly understands who they are. They proclaim that they need the Holy Spirit in their heart, and ask for guidance to help them stay on the right path. The final lines of the chorus repeat Jesus' name as the singer acknowledges Him as their Hero, the one they long to be like, and the one who is inside them.

The song is a powerful reminder of how Jesus has offered Himself as an example and model for us to follow. It also acknowledges that only by relying on His strength and the guidance of the Holy Spirit can we hope to stay true to His way.
