Story Behind the Song
all of life is meaningless without knowing the one who made it and keeps it going ... and gave it to us in the first place.
Lyrics
The One (1997)
I'm searchin' for somethin' real to me, I'm searchin' for nothin' that I see
They say there's nothin' out there, They say that I'll go nowhere
But I say... hey, I say...
Chorus
I want to know You better, Lord
I want nothing less, nothing more
I want to know you better...
There's nothing new under the sun, nothing that hasn't already been done
There's nothing new under the sun, Lord, I want to know the One
Who made the land, who made the sea; who gave me life and now watches me
From the tiny bird to the mountain, the desert refreshed by a fountain
He made it all, it all is His, and He gives the life that I now live
That made me, that formed me to be; that caught me, brought me to my knees
I can not believe You loved me, hung on the cross thinkin' of me
But now I sit here knowing the One who's known me the best since my life begun
