From the moment I opened my heart
You gave me Your love from heaven above
King of Glory, Jesus You'll always be mine
Lord I love You, it's all I can say
You amaze me every moment, every day
My creator, Jesus my Lord, always
CHORUS:
From the depths of my heart to the heaven above
There I feel Your embrace and the warmth of Your love
I'm not afraid 'cause Jesus I know You are here
You are here...
You're my Saviour, redeeming grace
Generations will sing of Your praise
Be exalted forever and ever more
Back to CHORUS
*Great is the Lord and most worthy of praise
Great is the Lord, glorified

You are here...
From the depths of my heart and to the heaven above
You are here
There I feel Your embrace and the warmth of Your love
You are here
