Lyrics Verified by Editorial Team
I've stood upon the mountain
I've taken in the view
I've known the sweet communion
Of walking close to You
But today I'm in the shadow
I'm looking for the light
I'm weary from the struggle, I am
I'm tired from the fight
Lead me where the river runs with living water
Take me where the morning sun revives my soul
Lay me down and let me rest here in Your presence
Jesus, Savior, my only hope
I know what You have promised
And I know what You have won
So even at my lowest moment
I'm holding on
Lead me where the river runs with living water
Take me where the morning sun revives my soul
Lay me down and let me rest here in Your presence
Jesus, Savior, my only hope
Where You are is where I want to be
Who You are is all that satisfies me
I'm hanging on, every word You speak
You are my strength when I am weak
Where You are is where I want to be
Who You are is all that satisfies me
I'm hanging on, every word You speak
You are my strength when I am weak
Lead me where the river runs with living water
Take me where the morning sun revives my soul
Lay me down and let me rest here in Your presence
Jesus, Savior, my only hope
Jesus, Savior, my only hope
