Let me die and know

(It's not really a poem, just me trying to express myself on paper..or screen rather ^_^) 

For to Know thee is life.
I would know thee, oh Precious Lord
Beget me today, and may I know thee in the power of thy resurrection
For to know thee is surely life
Kill my senses, consume me at thy brazen altar
Let me to this sinful nature die
That holds me afar from thee
Birth me, that I may know thee
Lead me down the road of calvary
And there may I behold thee in simplicity, that I may live
I desire not that I’d hear of thee
From those before me
Who’ve died and yet again live
But I want to know thee, that I may begin to live.
How I love to hear of thy mighty deeds
Written in the pages of thy holy Word
But I can’t get warm by a painted fire
I want to say this; that this day I know that the Lord surely is alive,
He lives in my heart and He’s yet the same as He was
Oh be thou real to me.
It’s not pleasant to die, but let it be dear Lord.
Hold not back, neither stop at anything to save
Though all hell gets loosed against me, let it not prevail.
