To know You is never worry for my life, and
To know You is to never to give in or compromise
To know You is to want to tell the world about you
Cause I can't live without You
To know You is to hear your voice when you are calling
To know You is to catch my brother when he is falling
To know You is to feel the pain of the broken hearted
Cause they can't live with out You.
More than my next breath
More than life or death
All reaching for, I live my life to know You more
I leave it all behind, You are all that satisfies
To know You is to want to know You more
To know You is to ache for more than ordinary
To know You is to look beyond the temporary
To know You is believing that you will be enough
Cause there is no life without You
All this life could offer me, could not compare to You
Compare to You
And I count it all as lost, compared to knowing You
Knowing You
More than my next breath
More than life or death
All I'm reaching for, I live my life to know You more
I leave it all behind, You are all that satisfies
To know you is to want to know You more
To know you is to want to know You more
And I count it all as lost, compared to knowing You
Knowing You
And I count it all as lost, compared to knowing You
Knowing You

Philippians 3:7-11
But whatever gain I had, I counted as loss for the sake of Christ. Indeed, I count everything as loss because of the surpassing worth of knowing Christ Jesus my Lord. For his sake I have suffered the loss of all things and count them as rubbish, in order that I may gain Christ and be found in him, not having a righteousness of my own that comes from the law, but that which comes through faith in Christ, the righteousness from God that depends on faith— that I may know him and the power of his resurrection, and may share his sufferings, becoming like him in his death, that by any means possible I may attain the resurrection from the dead.
Thanks for sharing the song and verse, Alicia. They really gripped my heart. I am looking forward to hearing more about what God is teaching you.
ReplyDeleteI was in Philippians while in Haiti, & this song was stuck in my head. I had to come face to face with considering whether or not I would "count it all as loss for the surpassing worth of knowing Christ & the power of His resurrection." Christ is the only thing worth living for. Love ya Steph! Thanks for your encouragement =)
