I Want to Know You (Psalm 119) rough sketch
A song I wrote while doodling on my guitar and having just finished reading Psalm 119.
Beanfield Castle - what a crop of acoustic and more!
I'm actually my own band :) I sequence music to accompany myself, usually with me playing an acoustic instrument and singing for the final mix.
Story behind the song
I was noodling around on my guitar one day, and had just finished reading Psalm 119. This song just kind of came together. It's a rough sketch - I'm currently working on filling it out a bit. But this is what you'd hear if you heard me "live".
Lyrics
Teach me, oh Lord, the way of Your word and I will observe it to the end.
Give me wisdom to obey Your law and help me keep it with all my heart.
Make me walk in the path of Your commandments.
Incline my heart to Your testimonies
Turn my eyes away from vanity,
Revive me in Your ways.
I want to know You, I want to know You,
I want to know You in Your holiness.
I want to know You, I want to know You,
I want to know You in your righteousness.
Establish Your word in Your servant as that which makes reverence for You.
May Your lovingkindness come to me Lord, Your salvation by Your word.
For I trust in Your word, my God, delight in Your commandments, which I love.
How I long for your precepts,
Revive me in your righteousness.
I want to know You, I want to know You,
I want to know You in Your holiness.
I want to know You, I want to know You,
I want to know You in your righteousness.
I want to know You, I want to know You,
I want to know You in Your holiness.
I want to know You, I want to know You,
I want to know You in your righteousness.
