Knowing You
I long to know You more
Than any memory or experience
I have ever had.
I long for You to be more real to me
Than anything I have
Ever known or endured.
The cost has been excessive
But it is nothing
Compared to You.
Just as You did
With the Israelites of old
You have shown me things
I have never witnessed before.
You have taken me places
I have never known
On paths I have never seen.
I love it when You speak to me,
Through Your many ways and methods.
I never grow bored of seeing
Your hand moving in my life.
I am in awe of the sheer fact
That the Great God of the Universe
Converses with me.
I want to know You more.
I want to love You more.
I want to see Your face
And make You smile.
I love You so much right now
But I long to love You even more.
