Here I am once again
I've been shaken by the question
Where's my place?
No where to hide deep in side
There's a fight to find the answer
So I pray
One breath from you
And I can breathe
One word from you
And I can see
I'm closer than the angels
Joy of your creation
Oh the way you see me
Is who I am
Beautiful and treasured
Loved beyond measure
I'm on my knees
Cause I know where I stand
Closer than the angels
Closer than the angels
All along I belong
To the God who made the heavens
You made me
A picture of your majesty
You gave your life
So I can be
Closer than the angels
Joy of your creation
Oh the way you see me
Is who I am
Beautiful and treasured
Loved beyond measure
I'm on my knees
Cause I know where I stand
Closer than the angels
So how can I give less
Than everything I am
I'm lifting empty hands
As I stand
So how can I give less
Than everything I am
I'm lifting empty hands
As I stand
Closer than the angels
Joy of your creation
Oh the way you see me
Is who I am
Beautiful and treasured
Loved beyond measure
I'm on my knees
Cause I know where I stand
Closer than the angels
So how can I give less
Than everything I am (closer than the angels)
I'm lifting empty hands
As I stand (closer than the angels)
So how can I give less
Than everything I am (closer than the angels)
I'm lifting empty hands
As is stand
Closer than the angels
