Everything I've ever wanted, only held me back from what I see in you.
The wonders of your love are far beyond what anyone could own or do.
And if I tried all through forever, I could never earn the treasure that's in
store.
But now standing in your righteousness, I reach in faith and cry to you for more.
That I may know you, the power of your resurrection.
That I may know you, the communion of your sufferings gladly shared.
That I may know you, the life that's flowing from your crucifixion.
That I may know you, to the heaven I will see you there.
No one on this earth, except a fool, will try to say that they've arrived.
My goal cannot be reached, as long as this whole sinful flesh remains alive.
Still I leave the past behind, like a runner, for the prize that lies
ahead.
And I press onward toward the goal, the upward call, the resurrection from the
dead.
That I may know you, the power of your resurrection.
That I may know you, the communion of your sufferings gladly shared.
That I may know you, the life that's flowing from your crucifixion.
That I may know you, to the heaven I will see you there.
Higher up, I hear your word of power, call me higher.
Further in, the comfort of your spirit calms my fear.
Higher up, to live with you is all my heart's desire.
Further in, your heart of love forever draws me near.
That I may know you, the power of your resurrection.
That I may know you, the communion of your sufferings gladly shared.
That I may know you, and the life that's flowing from your crucifixion.
That I may know you, to the heaven I will see you there.
That I may know you, I will see you there.
