Take us into a place
Where angels stand amazed
And every voice proclaims who You are
And there on sacred ground
All creatures bowing down
Like rushing waters shout to You, God
Show us Your face oh God
Come and reveal Your heart
Our one desire is
We want to know You
Open the heavens wide
Come let Your glory shine
Our one desire is
We want to know You
Your presence draws us in
Closer than we have been
We come to life again in Your arms
The sound of Your heartbeat
Deep calling out to deep
We’re finding all we need in You God
Open our eyes and let us see
The wonder of Your mystery
We want to know You
We want to know You
Open our ears and let us hear
The sound of heaven drawing near
We want to know You
We want to know You
