You guide me through the dark
You calm my fearful heart
I will rest in You
You give me perfect peace
You fill my deepest need
I will rest in You
God, shining like the sun
Let Your kingdom come
I want to be with You in Your presence
I'm here to give You praise
You take my breath away
And now I'm here with You
In Your presence
Your kindness draws me in
Now I'm with You once again
I will rest in You
Oh God who reigns on high
To You alone I cry
I will rest in You
You are shining, You are shining
Your light surrounds me, Your light has found me
