Paint me with Your purity
That I'd attract Your majesty
When others boast in fame and gold
The purest place is where I'll go
The purest place I will draw near
So do what it takes to keep me here
In the center of Your heart
The purest place is where You are
It's not with masses, not with kings
Not in these songs or offerings
Not in this life or what it brings
The purest place is You my King
The purest place I will draw near
Do what it takes to keep me here
In the center of Your heart
The purest place is where You are
It's where You are
Right here with You
If there's such thing as too beautiful
If there's such thing as too wonderful
If there's such thing as too marvelous
Jesus it's You, Jesus it's You
And if there's such thing as too beautiful
If there's such thing as too wonderful
And if there's such thing as too marvelous
Jesus it's You, Jesus it's You
The purest place I will draw near
So do what it takes to keep me here
In the center of Your heart
The purest place is where You are
The purest place I will draw near
So do what it takes to keep me here
In the center of Your heart
The purest place is where You are
Jesus, it's where You are
Right here with You
It's You my King, it's You my King
The purest place, is You my King
