Where does my heart go
When I have a choice to make?
Who do I follow
When my character's at stake?
Will I run from You or to Your arms?
Will I fight to be right where You are?
'Cause life is pulling me a million different ways
This is my song that I sing forever
You are my home, You are what I treasure
I want You to be where my heart goes
And if it all breaks
If it goes to pieces
You are the one that I will believe in
I know You won't ever let me go
(You won't let me go)
I want You to be where my heart goes
There's no denying
What this world will promise me
But I have decided
You are the only thing I need
So take everything
Take everything
Take everything
This is my song that I sing forever
You are my home, You are what I treasure
I want You to be where my heart goes
And if it all breaks
If it goes to pieces
You are the one that I will believe in
I know You won't ever let me go
(You won't let me go)
I want You to be where my heart
Runs to, clings to
Jesus, I so need You
I want You to be where my heart goes
This is my song that I sing forever
You are my home, You are what I treasure
I want You to be where my heart goes
(Where my heart goes)
And if it all breaks
If it goes to pieces
You are the one that I will believe in
I know You won't ever let me go
(You won't let me go)
I want You to be where my heart goes
I want You to be where my heart goes
