Lord our Saviour, Redeemer
You have rescued us from sin
Each time we call out for You
You've showed up again and again
You have shown us so much grace
Your love will never fade away
In spite of everything we have done
Lord, You didn't take Your mercy away
Sometimes we don't deserve Your love
Yet "I love you" is still what You say
I wanna be, I wanna be
I wanna be, I wanna be
Lord our Saviour, Redeemer
You have rescued us from sin
Each time we call out for You
You have showed up again and again
Lord our Saviour, Redeemer
You have rescued us from sin
Each time we call out for You
You have showed up again and again
You have shown us so much grace
Your love will never fade away
In spite of everything we have done
Lord, You didn't take Your mercy away
Sometimes we don't deserve Your love
Yet "I love you" is still what You say
In spite of everything we have done
Lord, You didn't take Your mercy away
Sometimes we don't deserve Your love
Yet "I love you" is still what You say
I wanna be, I wanna be
I wanna be, I wanna be
I wanna be, I wanna be
I wanna be, I wanna be
In Your love, I wanna be
In Your arms, I wanna be
At Your feet, I wanna be
In Your presence, I wanna be
In Your love, I wanna be
In Your arms, I wanna be
At Your feet, I wanna be
In Your presence, I wanna be
