I can win the argument, recite the ancient creeds, Break down every doctrine that the scholars ever preached. But somewhere in the study, my prayer life flatlined, Let sin stay unconfessed while I sharpened up my mind. My Bible stayed wide open, but my knees stayed clean; I could preach on true confession while my own stayed unseen. Had notes in every margin, every chapter underlined, But the truth I loved to study never searched the things I'd hide. I treated Him like a subject, filed away inside my head, While I traded daily fellowship for one more book instead. Break these walls I've built inside. Crush the kingdom of my pride. Let the truth move past my tongue Till my whole life sings the song. Father, draw me nearer, Through the ink upon the page. Take these truths that fill my mind And set my heart ablaze. Teach my feet to follow closely. Teach this restless heart to trust. I don't wanna just know about You— Lord, I wanna know You. I knew that God was sovereign, still I fought to take control. Knew His light exposed the darkness, still I hid what stained my soul. I could teach on John fifteen—every branch and every vine— But abiding was a doctrine, not the rhythm of my life. I could speak about His wisdom, then resent the plans He made, Sing about His faithfulness while fear still kept me awake. Could explain His holy mercy, still withhold it from a friend, Knew the road to restoration, but refused to make amends. Even demons know the doctrine—they believe and they shudder. They know the truth and tremble, but they never call Him Father. So don't let truth stay lifeless, just a weapon in debate; Let it humble me to worship. Teach my restless soul to wait. Pre-Chorus Break these walls I've built inside. Crush the kingdom of my pride. Let the truth move past my tongue Till my whole life sings the song. Father, draw me nearer, Through the ink upon the page. Take these truths that fill my mind And set my heart ablaze. Teach my feet to follow closely. Teach this restless heart to trust. I don't wanna just know about You— Lord, I wanna know You. Search me in the silence. Bring the hidden things to light. Let the truth become repentance. Teach this wandering heart to abide. I don't come back as a stranger, Begging at a bolted door. I'm a son who grew distracted— And I need my Father more. Let every truth become a prayer. Every prayer reshape my life. Don't let me speak of living water While my soul is running dry. Don't let me preach about Your presence, Then keep walking on my own. I've spent so long describing You— Father, call my heart back home. Father, draw me nearer, Through the ink upon the page. Take these truths that fill my mind And set my heart ablaze. Teach my feet to follow closely. Teach this restless heart to trust. I don't wanna just know about You— Lord, I wanna know You.
