What is it to speak your name,
proclaim your love,
pronounce the Kingdom that is to come?

What is it to know you for all eternity,
surrounded by your love,
with a fulfilled destiny?

What is it like to know you here,
to know your ways,
to shed your tears?

To feel your heartbeat within mine?
To feel the depths from which you cry
out to the world to see.
Come and know me!

What is it to feel your love warming my bones,
your healing warmth down into my toes?

What is it like to share your love,
to bring hope to those who've never had none?

What is it like for your power to flow,
restoring those who need a home?

What is it like to have you as a friend,
and to know that it's a dream
that will never end?

What is it like to know you through the storm,
and to know that you wait
to meet those who've been torn?

What is it like to know you?
To have you and to hold you?
To call you as my friend,
and know your love will never end?

What is it like, may I ask,
to have an answer that will last?

A truth to hold onto.
A God who knows my name.
A Kingdom to belong to.
To know the One who reigns.

What is it like?
