Every fear overtaken
Every wall comes crashing down
I am free in Your presence, whoa-oh-oh-ohh
You have lifted my burdens
You surround me with Your grace
Full of hope in Your presence, whoa-oh-oh-ohh
And I, I can't stop singing 'bout Your love
I can't stop singing 'bout Your love
My heart is o-o-overcome, (oh-oh oh-ohh)
And I, I can't stop singing 'bout Your love
For everything that you've done
My heart is o-o-overcome
I see the kingdom of heaven
Pierce the dark with endless light
We're alive in Your presence, whoa-oh-oh-ohh
You have won our salvation
At the cross, one sacrifice
So secure in Your presence, whoa-oh-oh-ohh
And I, I can't stop singing 'bout Your love
I can't stop singing 'bout Your love
My heart is o-o-overcome, (oh-oh oh-ohh)
And I, I can't stop singing 'bout Your love
For everything that you've done
My heart is o-o-overcome
I praise You forever
Your love goes on and on
I sing to You Jesus
You are my first love
I praise You forever
Your love goes on and on
I sing to You Jesus
You are my first love!...
Sing hallelujah
You are my first love!
Sing hallelujah
And I, I can't stop singing 'bout Your love
I can't stop singing 'bout Your love
My heart is o-o-overcome, (oh-oh oh-ohh)
And I, I can't stop singing 'bout Your love
For everything that you've done
My heart is o-o-overcome
You are my first love!...
Sing hallelujah
You are my first love
Sing hallelujah
You are my first love
Sing hallelujah
You are my first love
Sing hallelujah
You are my first love
Sing hallelujah
You are my first love...
