Lyrics Verified by Editorial Team

Waking up knowing there's a reason

All my dreams come alive

Life is for living with You

I've made my decision


You lift me up, fill my eyes with wonder

Forever young in Your love

This freedom's untainted with You

No moment is wasted


See the sun now bursting through the clouds

Black and white turns to colour all around

All is new, in the Savior I am found


This is living now

This is living now


You lead the way, God You're right beside me

In Your love I'm complete

There's nothing like living with You

This life You created, I choose


See the sun now bursting through the clouds

Black and white turn to color all around

All is new, in the Savior I am found


This is living now

This is living now


You take me higher than I've been before

It's Your perfect love that sees me soar

God your freedom is an open door

You are everything I want and more


[LeCrae:]

Maybe I ain't really know what livin' is

Is it love, if it was, am I livin' it?

Do I live in it? (yeah) So astounding

Love is an ocean, you can drown me

The sweet embrace, the lovely taste, I taste and see I'm under grace, the place to be

It means I'll never need an umbrella

I'm cool in the cold and the hot weather

Whether or never I ever, understand I'm a man in the hands of great plans

I stand with faith in a life I never known or touched, it's still outside my clutch but

I'm like what's to dream of? What's to hope in? What's to die for? Live to no end

This is living, the life I've been given's a gift

If I'mma live it, I'mma live it to death

So what's to dream of? What's to hope in? What's to die for? And live to no end

This is living, the life I've been given's a gift

If I'mma live it, I'mma live it to death


This is living now

This is living now


You take me higher than I've been before

It's Your perfect love that sees me soar

God your freedom is an open door

You are everything I want and more
