This isn’t a one-time wish; it’s a lifelong pursuit.
The song progresses by highlighting the singer’s contentment. They’ve tasted God’s kindness and felt his presence. They’ve been blessed beyond measure.

I Want to Know You More Lyrics by Don Moen
One thing have I desired
Forever will I see
To behold the beauty of His holy name
And to dwell within the presence of the King
How could I ask for more
He’s done so much for me
For I have tasted of the goodness of the Lord
And I’ve feasted at the table of the King
I just want to know Him more
I just want to know Him more
I just want to know Him more
I just want to know Him more
You’ve called me by Your name
And You’ve filled me with your love
You have covered with mercy and with grace
And have showered me with blessings from above
And yet I know there’s more
I hear You calling me
To a place where I have never been before
Where Your love is flowing
Deeper than the sea
I just want to know Him more
I just want to know Him more
I just want to know You more
I just want to know You more
Open my eyes
Lord i want to see
All you have promised and given to me
I want to know the secrets that are hidden in your word
I want to know You
I want to know You
One day I’ll see your face
And I’ll look into Your eyes
And to all eternity I’ll sing your praise
And forevermore fulfill my heart’s desire
I just want to know You more
I just want to know You more
I just want to know You more
I just want to know You more
