From the recording Help Me To Know You
### Help Me to Know You
**A tender worship lullaby of longing, love, forgiveness, and the desire to know Jesus face to face.**
Inspired by Moses, who spoke with God as a friend yet longed to behold His glory, and Peter, who encountered the risen Jesus beside the Sea of Galilee, *Help Me to Know You* is an intimate prayer from a heart longing for deeper fellowship with the Lord.
Moses was sheltered in the cleft of the rock as God's glory passed by. Peter, having denied Jesus three times, found himself face to face with the risen Savior, who lovingly asked, "Do you love Me?" Then came the restoring commission: "Feed My sheep."
These two encounters reveal the heart of this song: the longing to see His face, the wonder of being fully known, and the grace that restores us to loving fellowship with Him.
With gentle piano, delicate strings, and the tenderness of a lullaby, this song invites listeners into a quiet moment of surrender:
*Jesus, help me to know You, help me to love You, help me to see Your face.*

HELP ME TO KNOW YOU
[STYLE: Intimate cinematic worship lullaby, gentle contemporary Christian ballad. 68 BPM, 6/8 time, Key of D major. Warm, breathy male baritone, prayerful and emotionally vulnerable. Soft felt piano, fingerpicked acoustic guitar, warm cello, delicate violin, airy strings and subtle ambient pads. No heavy drums, no choir, no dramatic vocal runs. Tender, spacious, dreamlike, with natural pauses. Gradual emotional build, returning to a whisper for the ending. Target duration: 5:00–5:45. All bracketed instructions and chord markings are non-sung.]
[INTRO — Solo felt piano, gentle sustained strings, 4 measures]
[D – A/C# – Bm7 – Gmaj7]
[D] Oh, Jesus...
[A/C#] I just want to know You.
[Bm7] More than yesterday...
[Gmaj7] More than I've ever known You.
[VERSE 1 — Tender, reflective, almost whispered]
[D] Moses stood upon the mountain,
[A/C#] Longing for Your face to see.
[Bm7] You placed him in the cleft of the rock,
[Gmaj7] And let Your glory pass so tenderly.
[D] He heard You speak as friend to friend,
[A/C#] Yet still he cried for more.
[Bm7] "Show me Your glory, Lord,"
[Gmaj7] Was the longing of his soul.
[PRE-CHORUS — Softly rising, gentle cello enters]
[Em7] And here I am with that same longing,
[Bm7] A child reaching out to You.
[Gmaj7] Not for wonders, signs, or treasures,
[Asus4 – A] I just want to know You.
[CHORUS — Lullaby melody, intimate and unhurried]
[D] Jesus, help me to know You,
[A/C#] Help me to love You,
[Bm7] Help me to see Your [Gmaj7] face.
[D] Jesus, I want You to know me,
[A/C#] Love me,
[Bm7] Help me to receive Your [Gmaj7 – A] grace.
[INSTRUMENTAL — Four measures, delicate piano and cello]
[D – A/C# – Bm7 – Gmaj7]
[VERSE 2 — Warm, storytelling, quietly emotional]
[D] There beside the morning waters,
[A/C#] Peter saw You once again.
[Bm7] The One he'd loved, the One he'd failed,
[Gmaj7] Was standing there, still calling him friend.
[D] And looking in his eyes, You asked him,
[A/C#] "Simon, do you love Me?"
[Bm7] Three times love met three denials,
[Gmaj7] And grace set his heart free.
[PRE-CHORUS 2 — Gentle realization, strings softly swell]
[Em7] Then You gave him back his calling,
[Bm7] "Feed My sheep, and follow Me."
[Gmaj7] Oh, to look into Your eyes, Lord,
[Asus4 – A] And find the love that sets me free.
[CHORUS — Slightly fuller, soft background harmonies]
[D] Jesus, help me to know You,
[A/C#] Help me to love You,
[Bm7] Help me to see Your [Gmaj7] face.
[D] Jesus, I want You to know me,
[A/C#] Love me,
[Bm7] Help me to receive Your [Gmaj7 – A] grace.
[BRIDGE — Heartfelt prayer, slowly building, never forceful]
[Bm7] Not just the stories that I've heard,
[Gmaj7] Not just the things I know.
[D/F#] I want to hear You call my name,
[Asus4 – A] And follow where You go.
[Bm7] If You should ask me, "Do you love Me?"
[Gmaj7] Lord, You know my heart is Yours.
[D/F#] Teach me how to love You truly,
[Asus4 – A] More than I have loved before.
[Em7] And when You say, "Come, follow Me,"
[Bm7] Let nothing hold me here.
[Gmaj7] I want to walk beside You, Jesus,
[Asus4 – A] And know that You are near.
[INTERLUDE — Delicate violin over piano, 8 measures, peaceful and longing]
[Gmaj7 – D/F# – Em7 – Asus4 – A]
[Gmaj7 – D/F# – Em7 – A]
[FINAL CHORUS — Return to near silence, one voice and piano, almost whispered]
[D] Jesus, help me to know You,
[A/C#] Help me to love You,
[Bm7] Help me to see Your [Gmaj7] face.
[D] Jesus, I want You to know me,
[A/C#] Love me,
[Bm7] Help me to receive Your [Gmaj7 – A] grace.
[TAG — Slowing gently, deeply intimate]
[Gmaj7] Help me to know You...
[D/F#] Help me to love You...
[Em7] And when I finally see Your face,
[Asus4 – A] I'll know the fullness of Your grace.
[OUTRO — Solo felt piano, tender resolution]
[D] Oh, Jesus...
[A/C#] I just want to know You.
[Gmaj7 – A – Dadd9]
