I want to know Him,
But it seems that no one tries.
Why don’t they show Him?
O Lord, please hear my cries.
Lord, please fill my eyes.
I lie awake most every night,
Just longing to know You.
I need someone to help me find
What’s real, and what is true.
Chorus
I want to know Him,
But it seems that no one tries.
Why don’t they show Him?
O Lord, please hear my cries.
Lord, please fill my eyes.
Verse 2
Then I met a gentle man
Whose body had been worn.
Yet when he smiled and looked at me,
A brand-new hope was born.
There was something in his kindness,
Something words could never say.
For the very first time in my life,
I saw love on display.
Chorus
I want to know Him,
But it seems that no one tries.
Why don’t they show Him?
O Lord, please hear my cries.
Lord, please fill my eyes.
Bridge
He said that Jesus loved me—
The Life, the Truth, the Way.
But more than all the words he spoke,
His love showed me the way.
Final Chorus
Now I know Him,
And I’ll tell everyone.
Yes, I’ll show Him,
Jesus Christ, God’s Son.
Now I know Him,
And I’ll tell everyone.
Yes, I’ll show Him,
Jesus Christ, God’s Son.
Lord, keep filling my eyes…
So others may see You…
Through mine.
