Just To Know You More

After the success of He Brings The Sunshine, we thought we should try this again. Steve wrote the melody and created the midi. Larry and I added the lyrics. Steve's midi has a wonderful "chamber music" sound. - Elton, October 21, 1998
(Introduction)
(Verse One)
Speak, Lord, speak to my soul.
I wait for Your voice,
I'm longing to know
All You would have me to be,
To share Your heart,
To see as You see.
(Chorus)
Draw me near to Your throne,
Let the world disappear.
As You speak through Your Word,
May You help me to hear.
Oh, my Father Above,
How I yearn in my heart
Just to know You more!
(Verse Two)
Send, Lord, Your Spirit to me,
To lift up my heart,
To set my soul free.
May my reflection of You
Be shining and clear
For others to see.
(Chorus)
Draw me near to Your throne,
Let the world disappear.
As You speak through Your Word,
May You help me to hear.
Oh, my Father Above,
How I yearn in my heart
Just to know You more!
(Instrumental Bridge and Key Change)
(Verse Three)
Some day in Heaven above,
Surrounding Your throne,
Rejoicing in love,
We'll share in treasures undreamed,
All gifts from Your heart
Our Master and King.
(Chorus Two With Variation)
Draw us near to Your throne,
Let the world disappear.
As You speak through Your Word,
May You help us to hear.
Oh, our Father Above,
How we yearn in our hearts
Just to know You more.
Draw us near to Your throne,
Let the world disappear.
As You speak through Your Word,
May You help us to hear.
Oh, our Father Above,
How we yearn in our hearts
Just to know You more.
Draw us near to Your throne,
Let the world disappear.
As You speak through Your Word,
May You help us to hear.
Oh, our Father Above,
How we yearn in our hearts
Just to know You more,
O Lord!
