Although most songs that I write are very personal and come from my experiences, this one is particularly meaningful to me. It is a song asking the Father to know me completely and give me all of the things that only He has the ability to give.

After removing Saul, he made David their king. God testified concerning him: ‘I have found David son of Jesse, a man after my own heart; he will do everything I want him to do.’

Act 13:22

Search me, O God, and know my heart;

Psalm 139:23a

I long for the love only You can give
I search for the life You desire I live
I perish without Your indwelling gift
You gave Your all, You’re all I need

I thirst for the drink only You supply
I need Your embrace when I start to cry
I wait for Your touch like a whispered sigh
You gave Your all, You’re all I need

Search me, Father
Know me, Father

So come fill me up with Your own desire
Give me a faith that will never tire
I hunger for You like a burning fire
You gave Your all, You’re all I need

Search me, Father
Know me, Father

I long for the life only You can give
You gave Your all, You’re all I need
