”To Know You”
(Words by Nichole Nordeman/Music by Nichole Nordeman & Mark Hammond)
It’s well past midnight – And I’m awake with questions that won’t – Wait for daylight –
Separating fact from my imaginary fiction – On this shelf of my conviction – I need to find a place
– Where You and I can come face to face.
Thomas needed – Proof that You had really risen – Undefeated – When he placed his fingers –
Where the nails once broke your skin – Did his faith finally begin? – I’ve lied if I’ve denied – The
common ground I’ve shared with him.
And I, I really want to know You – I want to make each day – A different way that I can show
You how – I really want to love You – Be patient with my doubt – I’m just trying to figure out
Your will – And I really want to know You still.
Nicodemus – Could not understand how You could – Truly free us – He struggled with the image
– of a grown man born again – We might have been good friends – Cuz sometimes I still question,
too – How easily we come to You.
No more camping on the porch of indecision – No more sleeping under stars of apathy – And it
might be easier to dream – But dreamin’s not for me.
And I, I really want to know You – I want to make each day – A different way that I can show
You how – I really want to love You – Be patient with my doubt – I’m just trying to figure out
Your will – And I really want to know You still.
