I come to Your altar of excellence
No one but You Lord, shall be my defence
And I rest between Your shoulders
I rest within Your love
I pledge my devotion to Your majesty
You've been a King and a friend to me
And I rest between Your shoulders
I rest within Your great love
And with absolute abandon I bow
Resting between Your shoulders, resting within Your love
I am resting between Your shoulders
Resting within Your love
I come to Your altar of excellence
Thank You for Your love and Your faithfulness
I am resting between Your shoulders
Resting within Your love
I am resting between Your shoulders
Resting within Your love
Within Your love, Your love
