We love because he first loved us. (1 John 4:19)
It was during a spontaneous time of worship that I was telling God my desire to know Him more and to love Him more, that I want to devote my life to pursuing Him. I felt the Lord respond with the same words - to me. That He too, desires me - my friendship, presence and communion. That in fact, He has been pursuing me all this while.
- Huiting Ng
Lyrics
VERSE 1
I want to be sitting at Your feet
To rest my head steady on Your chest
I want to know Your heart
Speak to me Lord
VERSE 2
I want to hear the whisper of Your voice
Please tell me Lord the secrets of Your heart
I want to be Your friend
Speak to me Lord
CHORUS
You’ve pursued me from the start
Oh Lord You’ve won my heart
And with every breath You have my “Yes”
I surrender
VERSE 3
I want to hear the whisper of Your voice
Please tell me Lord the secrets of Your heart
I want to be Your friend
Speak to me Lord
BRIDGE
I want to know everything about You
What brings You delight
What breaks Your heart too
I want to know everything about You
To know You is to love You
“I want to know everything about You / what brings you delight / what breaks your heart too / To know you is to love you.”
We can only love someone to the extent that we know him/her. The same is true in our relationship with God. This song is a simple prayer that we may grow in deeper knowledge and intimacy with Him.
