Jesus: Wanna Get to Know You

This week’s “song of the week” for my 8th graders is a song from Shania Twain titled, Wanna Get to Know You. As we focus tonight on getting to know Jesus: his world, his words, his miracles, his people, and his death and resurrection, I thought this song would be appropriate. Here’s a sampling of some of the lyrics:

I don’t wanna hurry
I wanna take a lifetime to
memorize your face

Wanna know you all over
Till I know you be heart
Gotta know you with all that I got

[Chorus:]
I wanna know you that good!
Like no one knows you
Gonna reach way down deep in your mind
I wanna get to know you–
wanna get to know you
Wanna get to know you that good

Don’t wanna miss a minute–
wanna be right in it
Do everything you’re doin’–
go everywhere you’re goin’

Wanna know you all over
Till I know you by heart
Gotta know you with all that I got

I wanna know you that good
Wanna know your emotions–
wanna taste every tear
Wanna hear you breathin’–
feel what your feelin’
I wanna get to know
Know you that good!
Like no one knows you
Gonna reach way down deep in your mind
I wanna get to know you–

When 2 people are in love, they want to get to know one another. This is the mindset that I want the young people to have as we learn about Jesus.
