Bethel Music and Emmy Rose's song expresses a deep desire for God's presence above all else. The lyrics compare the wilderness with God to the promised land without Him, emphasizing that His presence is the ultimate inheritance and portion. The singer declares they would rather be a vagabond with God than dwell in worldly mansions, laying down all treasure to follow Him. The song echoes themes from Psalm 73 and the Israelites' journey, focusing on the value of walking closely with Jesus and dwelling in His nearness.

Lyrics Verified by Editorial Team

I'd rather have the wilderness with You right by my side
Than wander in the promised land alone
So I will watch the cloud by day and follow fire by night
Wherever You go I will go

Your presence is my inheritance
What more could I want
And Your Spirit is my portion, Lord
What more could I want

I'd rather be a vagabond with You inside my heart
Than dwell in all the mansions of the world
I'd lay down all my treasure, I'd give up all I own
To follow wherever You go, oh-oh-oh

And Your presence is my inheritance
What more could I want
And Your Spirit is my portion, Lord
What more could I want

You are my home
Where else would I go
I wanna walk with You, Jesus
Dwell in Your nearness

Lord, where else would I go
I wanna walk with You, Jesus
Dwell in Your nearness

And dwell in Your nearness
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh

Your presence is my inheritance
What more could I want
And Your Spirit is my portion Lord
What more could I want

Written by Emmy Rose, Kristene DiMarco, Austin Johnson, and Hank Bentley
