"I Want More of That"

I am not sure when I jotted down the thought stream that led me to the next song (sometime in the late Fall 2011). I just know that I have found, especially recently, that the more time I spend in Christian fellowship, the more time I spend in prayer/writing in my journal, the more time I spend in the Word...THE MORE I WANT TO DO IT MORE! At the moment that I formulated the above streams of thought, a Casting Crowns' song popped into my head. This song speaks to the feelings that I had.

"To Know You"
To know you is never worry for my life, and
To know you is to never give in or compromise
To know you is to want to tell the world about you
Cause I can't live without you

To know you is to hear your voice when you are calling
To know you is to catch my brother when he is falling
To know you is to feel the pain of the broken-hearted
Cause they can't live without you

More than my next breath
More than life or death
All I'm reaching for, I live my life to know you more
I leave it all behind, you are all that satisfies
To know you is to want to know you more
To know you is to want to know you more

To know you is to ache for more than ordinary
To know you is to look beyond the temporary
To know you is believing that you will be enough
Cause there is no life without you

More than my next breath
More than life or death
All I'm reaching for, I live my life to know you more
I leave it all behind, you are all that satisfies
To know you is to want to know you more
To know you is to want to know you more

All this life could offer me, could not compare to you
     Compare to you
And I count it all as lost, compared to knowing you
     Knowing you

More than my next breath
More than life or death
All I'm reaching for, I live my life to know you more
I leave it all behind, you are all that satisfies
To know you is to want to know you more
To know you is to want to know you more

     Compared to you
     Compared to you
And I count it all as lost, compared to knowing you
     Knowing you
And I count it all as lost, compared to knowing you
     Knowing you

As usual,music speaks to my heart. I either am emotionally touched by music or I receive affirmation of my emotions from the lyrics. This song exactly captured the essence of my feelings. It is SO true that the more time we spend in Him, the more we want to be there.

And as I feel this way, I want to share it with everyone around me. I want for others what I feel. I want them to worship with ll of their being. I want them to have the feeling that I have...that desire to want to know Him more. I can't help but sing and write and share with others. I know no other way to feel about what I have experienced. I want for everyone what I have found. I want them to want to know Him more!

Delight yourself in the Lord and He will give you the desires of your heart.--Psalm 37:4
