Father, I love you
My heart is filled with desire to see
Your power and glory
Cover the earth as the waters clothe the sea
I am surrounded by the fortress of God
Totally surrendered to you
Padre te amo en mi corazon, hay deseos de ver
Tu feurza tu gloria, que cubre la tierra
Como ola del mar, soy rodeada
De la gracia de dios, totalmente entregada a ti
I lift up my hands standing unashamed
I worship You father, exalting your name
You've captured my heart, now my life is changed
I lift up my hands, I lift up my hands
I lift up my hands standing unashamed
I worship You father, exalting your name
You've captured my heart, now my life is changed
I lift up my hands, I lift up my hands
I lift up my hands
I lift up my hands
I lift up my hands
