[Verse 1]
I've tried in vain a thousand ways
My fears to quell, my hopes to raise
But what I need, Your word has said
Is ever, only, Jesus

[Verse 2]
You died, You live, You reign, You plead
There’s love in all Your words and deeds
This weary heart finds all it needs
In ever, only, Jesus

[Chorus]
'Cause I want to know You, Jesus my Lord
King of the Heavens, and King of my soul
I trade my treasure and all my rewards
Jesus to know You, then know You more

[Verse 3]
Though some should curse me for Your name
I have no fear, I have no shame
You stand with me for all my days
My ever, only, Jesus

[Chorus]
I want to know You, Jesus my Lord
King of the Heavens, and King of my soul
I trade my treasure and all my rewards
Jesus to know You, then know You more
[Bridge]
Like wave after wave on the ocean
Like all of the sand on the shore
Your beauty and glory are endless
O, Jesus, I must know You more
Like wave after wave on the ocean
Like all of the sand on the shore
Your beauty and glory are endless
O, Jesus, I must know You more

[Chorus]
I want to know You, Jesus my Lord
King of the Heavens, and King of my soul
I trade my treasure and all my rewards
Jesus to know You, then know You more
'Cause I want to know You, Jesus my Lord
King of the Heavens, King of my soul
I trade my treasure and all my rewards
Jesus to know You, then know You more
Jesus to know You, then know You more
