I want to know (everybody wants to know) I want to know (everybody wants to know) I want to know (everybody wants to know) Oh, I want to know (everybody wants to know, oh) Who made the sun? Who made the moon? Who made the stars? Who made the earth? Who made the water? Who made the wind? Who made the planets in this universe?

Who made them all…

Why it mattered to him

We believe this song reflects the quiet longing that defined his walk with God. After years of preaching, teaching, and shepherding others, his greatest desire was never simply to know more about God, but to know God more deeply. It speaks of a faith that never became routine, a relationship that never lost its wonder, and a soul that continued to seek God’s presence with humility and expectation.
