Dwelling daily in Your presence
I don?t want to worship from afar
Draw me near to where You are
I just want to be where You are
In Your dwelling place ? spoken
In Your dwelling place forever
Take me to the place where You are
I just want to be with You
I want to be where You are
Dwelling in Your presence
Feasting at Your table
And surrounded by Your glory
In Your presence
That?s where I always want to be
I just want to be
I just want to be with You
I just want to be where You are
Dwelling daily in Your presence
Dwelling daily in Your presence
I don?t want to worship from afar
Draw me ? spoken
Draw me near to where You are
O my God You are my strength and my song
And when I?m in Your presence
Though I?m weak, You?re always strong
I just want to be where You are
In Your dwelling place forever
In Your dwelling place forever
Take me to the place ? spoken
Take me to the place where You are
?Cause I just want to be
I just want to be with You
I just want to be
I just want to be with You
[Spoken:]
O God, that?s our prayer
We want to be where You are
Dwelling in Your presence
Feasting at Your table
And surrounded by Your glory
That?s our prayer
We want to be where You are
Yes, we do ? spoken
Dwelling in Your presence
Feasting at Your table
Surrounded by glory ? spoken
Surrounded by Your glory
In Your presence
Lord ? spoken
That?s where we always want to be
I just want to be
I just want to be with You
[Spoken:]
Thank You for your prayer tonight
I just want to be
I just want to be with You
[Spoken:]
O God, that?s our prayer
We want to be with You, God
I just want to be with You
