This song is very hard to find on the internet.
I found an instrumental version which is nice, but cannot find a singing version, anyhow be blessed.
We sang this song in service today, God is good.

I did not realize that there was a few versions of this song, here is one that would seem more closely to the one I know, which is a mixture of a few I saw online, but more accurate to what I know:
TO KNOW HIM
To know Him, to know Him is the cry of my heart.
Spirit reveal Him to me.
To hear what He’s saying brings life to my soul.
To know you, to know you oh Lord.
To know You, to know You is the cry of my heart.
Jesus, Your face now I seek.
To hear what You're saying brings life to my soul.
To know You, to know You oh Lord.
If you want to share a version that is different that you know, go ahead.

And if people want to talk about knowing God in this thread, then let us do so.
We need to get to know his heart better, what moves him, what pleases him, and so on.
He is an awesome God, and worthy of all our aw and praise, he is an holy God, let us always remember that.
His convictions, must become our convictions, his ways, must become our ways.
Let us know his ways in reality, and not just knowing about him and his ways, let us live it in reality.
Let us proclaim his ways, to were those ways is part of us.
No we are not Christ, and never will be, but we can allow Christ to live more and more through us, and thus get more and more conformed to his image.

Well, speaking of knowing God...
I'm IN!!!
I was just reflecting on all the truths God was showing me, feeling grateful because I realized I'd come a long way and God didn't have to correct me or show me anything.
Then I felt this overwhelming feeling of love for God, for John and the people at Narrow-Way, for my husband. I felt this confirmation in my soul that I was accepted in Christ!!!!
And the FRUIT, the fruit that U feared I could not find and the evidence that I was a true believer--- the FRUIT was THERE in my heart! Namely peace, joy, and love!
After correction, seeking, studying, obeying, now I have this assurance that I'm in Christ because I KNOW his Spirit is in me and I can SEE the fruit.
Yo!!!
Guys, I was fearing for my salvation. I had so many doubts from things that happened over a year ago. Like, was I even saved? Was I doing Jesus' will (Matthew 7:21?)
But now I can feel that I'm in the love of Jesus as promised to those who obey His commandments.
I KNOW I'm saved, not because of OSAS doctrine, but because I examined myself and tested myself from a fear of the Lord, getting rid of everything that smelled like sin or temptation for a number of days .
I would tell God I was seeking Him, hoping that He would see that and His presence would fall from the sky or I could speak to Him like Moses did .
But now I can feel His Spirit rising up in spontaneous praise when I see a street preacher witnessing, causing me to love more, feeling peace and joy. Yes!!! Hallelujah!!!
In Hebrews, it says God is a rewarder of those who dilligently seek Him.
The Bible also says not to be weary in well doing for in due season we shall reap if we faint not.
God is awesome and worthy to be praised!
Despise not his discipline for by that you know that you are His children.
Thank you God for the living water and keeping your promise!

God is an awesome God, and we can never out know him.
Rom 11:33 (33) O the depth of the riches both of the wisdom and knowledge of God! how unsearchable are his judgments, and his ways past finding out!
The minute we think we have God figured out, he will show you the 100 thousand other things you do not know, and show you that you do not have him all figured out.
Continue to grow in his knowledge, knowing that you can always go further, and just simply trust him.

Sometimes men can strive so hard to know the opinions of men, but let us seek to know him, what touches him, what makes him tick, what pleases him.
Sometimes I wonder to what degree are the people of the church really pondering on this?
Are we more busy with trying to please, or to try to fit in with the group, or do we really want to know what moves him, even if we have to lay something aside, or drop something from our life?
He is the potter, we are the clay, let us allow ourselves to remain as soft clay, so he can more easily form us to his liking.
Just something to think about.

He is the potter, we are the clay, let us allow ourselves to remain as soft clay, so he can more easily form us to his liking. Just something to think about. Giller that Is the beauty of it . And such a simple wonderful , beautiful tiny gem is something that even occurred on day one of my conversion . God put it in my heart , such a change of mind , such a change of heart , a heart that really hungered to KNOW HIM , TO LOVE HIM above all . Guess what the Spirit also put in my heart . First it put a prayer in my heart . From a changed heart I prayed to just know HIM more , to have a heart that put HIM above everything . That was on may 30 of two thousand and six . DID you know immediately after that prayer there was such a hunger , such a hunger to just know him more . AND such as this was , THE DRIVING of the HOLY GHOST put me into ONE BOOK that BY HIS SPIRIT would give me ALL that I needed to KNOW . THE BIBLE . its true the bible might be the number one selling book , but sadly its the number one book that collects dust too . IF we truly hunger and desire to know HIM and what PLEASES HIM . I tell us all , wait I mean I remind us all , cause we know this , THAT BIBLE , phew wee , ought not be over looked . IT ought to be feasted on , like a two day starved baby lamb , would feast on the teet of its mothers milk, when once it was returned to that mother . We don't need trust in men , BUT IN GOD ALONE . That my friend is the beauty that just keeps growing only more in beauty and the lambs do grow in grace .

Sister , don't even look backwards and remember those faults . I remember what you speak of . IF you were not a lamb , YOU WOULD HAVE CONTINUED ON IN THAT DARKNESS . GOD used other lambs to help correct you , AND YOU HEARD IT . Lambs hear truth , and when a lamb does err , Others rebuke and warn it and it will hear those. YOU HEARD SISTER . I watched . You might not have known I was watching , but I was . AND some time later , I SEEN A NEW FIRED UP SISTER for the LORD . SO DONT LET the enemy bring up your past failure . AND WHEN HE DOES , cause WOE HE WILL , YOU just CLING TO JESUS and say , I know what I did was vile and evil , BUT JESUS HAS ME NOW HE HAS ME NOW . FOR by HIS GRACE , it led me to repent . YEP . YOU just remember that . And I want you to dig so deep into that bible , that you just grow FAT in grace .
