Here in the quiet, speak to me now
My ears are open to Your gentle, sweet whispering
Break down the door, come inside
Shine down Your bright light
I need a lamp for my feet
Yeah, I need a lamp for my feet
'Cause I wanna hear the thunder of who You are
To be captured inside the wonder of who You are
And I wanna live, I wanna breathe
To search out Your heart and all of Your mysteries
You were the first, and You'll be the end, time cannot hold You down
So, why save a wretch like me?
'Cause no eye has seen, no ear has heard
No heart could fully know all of Your mystery
Now, I wanna hear the thunder of who You are
To be captured inside the wonder of who You are
And I wanna live and I wanna breathe
To search out Your heart and all of Your mysteries
Your glory burns in the stars
Shine down Your light, let it burn in my heart
Bring me to glory, bring me to You
Lord, it's Your heart that I will hold onto
And I wanna hear the thunder of who You are
To be captured inside the wonder of who You are
And I wanna live and I wanna breathe
To search out Your heart and all of Your mysteries
Oh-whoa, Your glory burns in the stars
Shine down Your light, let me know who You are
Jesus, Your glory burns in the stars
Shine down Your light, let me see You, let me see You
