The lyrics express awe for God's work and love, offering a "widow's mite" as a symbol of giving everything. The chorus emphasizes holding onto God's love while letting go of oneself, and the repeated desire to be in God's arms reflects a longing for intimacy with Him. The song encourages believers to release control and trust in God's presence, making it a heartfelt prayer of surrender and devotion.

I stand in awe of You
And everything You've done for me
You speak Your words into my life
And where You are is where I wanna be
I stand before You, Lord
Humbled by the love You give away
A widow's mite, my will and pride
It's all I have to offer anyway
I'm holding onto Your love
I'm letting go of myself
I'll say so long to everything else
I stand in awe of You
And everything You've done for me
You speak Your words into my life
And where You are is where I wanna be
I stand before You, Lord
Humbled by the love You give away
A widow's mite, my will and pride
It's all I have to offer anyway
I'm holding onto Your love
I'm letting go of myself
I'm holding onto Your love
I'm letting go of myself
I'll say so long to everything else
I just wanna be in Your arms
I just wanna be in Your arms
Moving ever closer to Your heart
To Your heart
I just wanna be in Your arms
I just wanna be in Your arms
Moving ever closer to Your heart
To Your heart
I just wanna be in Your arms
I just wanna be in Your arms
Moving ever closer to Your heart
To Your heart
