Lyrics Verified by Editorial Team
I have cried a million tears
Waiting here, for You to move
I have been here on my knees
Waiting here, to break through
I'm pressing into You
You are my battle song
I fight a war already won
I will run through the gates
With thanksgiving and praise
Into the place where freedom's found
Where all my fears come crashing down
I will run through the gates
You are infinitely good
Your mercy for me, never ends
When my heart is overwhelmed
I will bless Your name again
I'm pressing into You
You are my battle song
I fight a war already won
I will run through the gates
With thanksgiving and praise
Into the place where freedom's found
Where all my fears come crashing down
I will run through the gates (I will run, I will run)
With thanksgiving and praise (I will run, I will run)
Into the place where freedom's found
Where all my fears come crashing down
In Your presence, I will stay
In Your presence, everything is changed
In Your presence, I will stay
In Your presence, everything is changed
I'm pressing into You
You are my battle song
I'm pressing into You
You are my battle song
I'm pressing into You
You are my battle song
I fight a war already won
I will run through the gates (I will run, I will run)
With thanksgiving and praise (I will run, I will run)
Into the place where freedom's found
Where all my fears come crashing down
I will run through the gates (I will run, I will run)
With thanksgiving and praise (I will run, I will run)
Into the place where freedom's found
Where all my fears come crashing down
I will run through the gates
