You say You love me
But how could You
When I ran so far
And still You want me
When I lose sight
Of where You are
But it only took a moment
With You
A glimpse of life with purpose
And I knew
That living where the light is
Oh Lord
It's exactly where You want me and I never
Wanna leave
So I'm gonna stay in Your presence
Sing of Your love forever
Dance like I did the day when
I caught a glimpse of You
And I'll get a little bit desperate
To run to the arms of heaven
All of my life surrendered
Cause I caught a glimpse of You
I caught a glimpse of You
I caught a glimpse of You
I caught a glimpse of You
You are for me
Through the moments
When I lose my way
You surround me
With Your mercy
And Your endless grace
But it only took a moment
With You
A glimpse of life with purpose
And I knew
That living where the light is
Oh Lord
It's exactly where You want me and I never
Wanna leave
So I'm gonna stay in Your presence
Sing of Your love forever
Dance like I did the day when
I caught a glimpse of You
And I'll get a little bit desperate
To run to the arms of heaven
All of my life surrendered
Cause I caught a glimpse of You
I caught a glimpse of You
I caught a glimpse of You
I caught a glimpse of You
I caught a glimpse of You
I wanna lift You high
Forever this heart is Yours
Why would I run and hide
When mercy has covered all
I give my life to You
For all that You are
Is all I want God
It's all I want
So I'm gonna stay in Your presence
Sing of Your love forever
Dance like I did the day when
I caught a glimpse of You
And I'll get a little bit desperate
To run to the arms of heaven
All of my life surrendered
Cause I caught a glimpse of You
I caught a glimpse of You
I caught a glimpse of You
I caught a glimpse of You
I caught a glimpse of You
Of You hey
