Let Me Know You

From Quest For God

Lyrics

God is weeping for His children
Who walk the path but miss the flame
They light the fires, and sing the songs
But never call upon His name
They keep the feasts, they guard the day
But never ask what moves His soul
What breaks His heart, what brings Him joy
What makes the broken whole

Oh, let me know You, Father
More than all the works I do
Let my heart be the altar
Burning just to love You
May my life be the echo
Of Your whisper in the dark
I want to be
Close to Your heart

They spoke Your words with holy fire
But never knew the Spirit inside
You said, Depart, I never knew you
As tears poured from the divine
Not the law, not the offering
Could replace the Father's grace
You want hearts, not empty rituals
A child who seeks Your face

Oh, let me know You, Father
More than all the works I do
Let my heart be the altar
Burning just to love You
May my life be the echo
Of Your whisper in the dark
I want to be
Close to Your heart

I'll lay my head upon Your chest
Like the one Yeshua loved
No greater place, no deeper rest
Than being known and held above
Open my eyes, unstop my ears
Let me walk in holy fear
Not just a servant from afar
But a child who draws You near

Oh, let me know You, Father
More than all the works I do
Let my heart be the altar
Burning just to love You
May my life be the echo
Of Your whisper in the dark
I want to be
Close to Your heart
