Linger

By Gateway Worship

2,204 views Jun 25, 2026 updated Verified editorial review

Gateway Worship's 'Linger' is a slow, contemplative worship song about choosing to remain in God's presence rather than rushing away. The lyrics describe God as a sanctuary and refuge, a safe place where the singer can be still and listen. The song expresses a desire to go deeper in intimacy with God, to hear His heart, and to love Him more. It reflects a posture of surrender and patience, resisting the urge to move on until God has finished what He wants to do. The repeated refrain 'I linger here with You' emphasizes the value of unhurried time with God.

I don't wanna hurry 
I don't want to move 
You are my sanctuary my upper room 
So I will linger here with You 

Push through the fear and silence 
Till time has been removed 
You are my sanctuary my upper room 
So I will linger here with You 

My dwelling place where I'm safe
My refuge from the storm 
Open my heart to hear your heart 
To love you more and more 
No I won't move
I linger here with You 

Keep me present in this moment 
There is more You want to do 
You are my sanctuary my upper room 
So I will linger here with You 

My dwelling place where I'm safe
My refuge from the storm 
Open my heart to hear your heart 
To love you more and more 
No I won't move
I linger here with You 
I linger here with You 
I linger here with You Lord 

I wanna go deeper 
I wanna go further 
I want more of You Lord 
I wanna go deeper 
I wanna go further 
Than I've been before
