You will never leave
Your love sustaining me
Before I even knew what love was
You've brought me here to rest
And given me space to breathe
So I'll stay still until it sinks in
And I will lean back in the loving arms
Of a beautiful Father
Breathe deep and know that He is good
He's a love like no other
You will never leave
Your love sustaining me
Before I even knew what love was
You've brought me here to rest
And given me space to breathe
So I'll stay still until it sinks in, oh, oh
And I will lean back in the loving arms
Of a beautiful Father
And I will breathe deep and know that He is good
He's a love like no other, oh
There's no one like You, God
No one like You, God, oh
Now I can see, Your love is better
Than all the others that I've seen
And I'm breathing deep, of all Your goodness
Your loving-kindness to me
And now I can see, Your love is better
Than all the others that I've seen
So I'm breathing deep, of all Your goodness
Your loving-kindness to me
Now I can see, Your love is better
Than all the others that I've seen
So I'm breathing deep, of all Your goodness
Your loving-kindness, oh, to me
Oh, and I will lean back in the loving arms
Of a beautiful Father, oh oh
And I will breathe deep and know that He is good
He's a love like no other, oh, ooh-ooh-ooh
Now I can see, Your love is better
Than all the others that I've seen
So I'm breathing deep, of all Your goodness
Your loving-kindness, oh, to me
Lean back in the loving arms
Of a beautiful Father
And I will breathe deep and know that He is good
He's a love like no other
