With all I'm holding inside
With all my hopes and desires
And all the dreams that I've dreamt
With all I'm hoping to be
And all that the world will bring
And all that fails to compare
You say You want all of me
I wouldn't have it any other way
I've got a Saviour and He's living in me
Whoa, I wanna know
I wanna know You today
And You're the best thing
That has happened to me
And the world will never take
The world will never take You away
With all I'm hoping to be
And all that the world will bring
And all that fails to compare
You say You want all of me
I wouldn't have it any other way
I've got a Saviour and He's living in me
Whoa, I wanna know
I wanna know You today
And You're the best thing
That has happened to me
And the world will never take
The world will never take You away
I've got a Saviour and He's living in me
Whoa, I wanna know
I wanna know You today
And You're the best thing
That has happened to me
And the world will never take
The world will never take You away
I've got a Saviour and He's living in me
Whoa, I wanna know
I wanna know You today
And You're the best thing
That has happened to me
And the world will never take
The world will never take You away
I've got a Saviour and He's living in me
Whoa, I wanna know
I wanna know You today
And You're the best thing
That has happened to me
And the world will never take
The world will never take You away
No one could ever take You away
No one can ever take You away
