Laid down mystery
Of life quite clear to me
The sparkling truth revealed
Soul satisfying
This treasure of life to bring
It gives me this passion to sing
I need You, I run
Into Your arms
Above the world
Oh, I'll go to You
A light in the darkness
You're shining Your heart in me
I promise, I promise
To eternity I live and die
To know You, to love You
For I found what I've been looking for
Well, I sense You more all along
This need in me to belong
Your winds of grace complete me
Spread me away
But Your love is peaceable, I know
Just look at me, does it show?
I long for the day
That I see You face to face
Above the world
Oh, I'll go to You
A light in the darkness
You're shining Your heart in me
I promise, I promise
To eternity I live and die
To know You, to love You
For I found what I've been looking for
I promise, I promise, yeah, yeah
Desire of all nations
We come
Strength of my life
You are shining Your heart in me
I promise, I promise
To eternity I live and I'm dying
To know You, to love You
For I found what I've been looking for
I promise, I promise
To eternity I live, I will die
To know You, to love You
For I found what I've been looking for
