You set me apart
Gave me a new heart
Filled with compassion
To share Your great love
Show me Your ways
I want to know You
Guide me in truth
My hope is in You
That I may dwell in Your house forever
Lifting up Your name
Dwell in Your house forever more
That I may dwell in Your house forever
Lifting up Your name
Dwell in Your house forever more
I'll hold on to You,
My strength and my refuge.
Whom shall I fear?
I know You are near
All of my days
I live for You, Lord
Establish my path
There's one thing I ask
That I may dwell in Your house forever
Lifting up Your name
Dwell in Your house forever more
That I may dwell in Your house forever
Lifting up Your name
Dwell in Your house forever more
Holy Spirit, have Your way
Sweet anointing teach our hearts
Our lives, we pray
That I may dwell in Your house forever
Lifting up Your name
Dwell in Your house forever more
That I may dwell in Your house forever
Lifting up Your name
Dwell in Your house forever more
That I may dwell in Your house forever
Lifting up Your name
Dwell in Your house forever more
