Audrey Assad - Known


This is one of the most beautiful songs I have ever heard.  Not only does the music sound incredible, but the lyrics deeply touch my heart.  How wonderful to be "known"  by our Savior and Lord in this way.  As David says in Psalm 139, "Such knowledge is too wonderful for me." 

Psalm 139:1-6 NIV

You have searched me, LORD,
   and you know me.
You know when I sit and when I rise;
   you perceive my thoughts from afar.
 You discern my going out and my lying down;
   you are familiar with all my ways.
 Before a word is on my tongue
   you, LORD, know it completely.
 You hem me in behind and before,
   and you lay your hand upon me.
 Such knowledge is too wonderful for me,
   too lofty for me to attain.

KNOWN by Audrey Assad and Philip Larue

As the dew falls on the blade
You have touched all this fragile frame
And as a mother knows her baby’s face
You know me, You know me

As the summer air within my chest
I have breathed You deep down into my breast
And as You know the hairs upon my head
Every thought and every word I’ve said
Every thought and every word I’ve said

Savior, You have known me as I am
Healer, You have known me as I was
As I will be in the morning, in the evening
You have known me, yeah, You know me

Oh, and as the exhilaration of autumn’s bite
Oh, You have brought these tired bones to brilliant life
And as the swallow knows, she knows the sky
This is how it is with You and I
Oh, this is how it is with You and I

From the fall of my heart to the resurrection of my soul
You know me, God, and You know my ways
In my rising and my sitting down
You see me as I am, oh, see me as I am

And as a lover knows his beloved’s heart
All the shapes and curves of her even in the dark
Oh, You have formed one in my inward parts
And You know me, You know me, yes

Savior, You, You have known me as I am
Oh, healer, You have known me as I was
As I will be in the morning, in the evening
You have known

You have known me, in the morning, in the evening
You’ve known me, God
In the morning, in the evening You have known me
Yeah, You’ve know me

You have always known me
You know me, God, You have known me
You have always known my heart

  2. You're welcome, Casey! Her entire CD (The House You're Building) is amazing, and it's at the top of my favorites list! I've listened to it at least 50 times, and love it more with each listen. Her voice is absolutely stunning, and the lyrics are just perfect. You can find most of the songs from the album on youtube or godtube. There's even a video of her singing at KLOVE, but I've never heard one of her songs on their station. I wonder why she's not getting air time? I think I'll ask them. : )

    Thank you for stopping by, Casey! I appreciate it. : )
