[Verse 1:]
Salvation rise
As we sing of Your freedom
We leave the past behind
As we look to Your kingdom
[Verse 2:]
You bridge the great divide
Between our hearts and Your glory
Our shame dissolved
In the depths of Your mercy
[Pre-Chorus:]
We are devoted
We are devoted to You
[Chorus:]
Your light will shine in the darkness
Your light will shine in the dark
In the dark
Woah
We are Yours
[Verse 3:]
We fill the open skies
With the sound of Your praises
Our future lies in the hope of our Saviour
[Bridge:]
It's Your love
Your love
Woah woah
It's Your love
Your love
Woah woah
