Sarah Reeves:

Let this simple song I bring

Reach the ears of Majesty

I am falling on my knees

To worship You


I love You, I love You, I love You

I love You, I love You, I love You

My heart is exploding to tell You

How much I love You, I love You, I love You


Kirk Franklin:

Listen, I'll be honest with You

There's so many things that You allow 

that I sometimes question

How You feel about me, 

I know how I feel about You

But the things that You allow

It's very hard to trust Your heart 

when I can't see Your hand

But as I dig deeper and remember that 

I was created to love You

Even when I wanna run from You

The love I have for You pulls me back

Since I was a little boy, 

I've been chasing You as 

You've been chasing me

And here I am now

Even with my limb I'll run

Even in my tears I'll run

Because I'm running after You 

'cause I'm so in love with You

I mean, I'm desperately, crazy, 

fanatically in love with You

Because I can think of how lost I was

And how incredible You were

To take me in and make me like You

Man, I'm not there yet

But I'm still running, let's go


I love You, I love You, I love You

I love You, I love You, I love You

My heart is exploding to tell You

How much I love You, I love You, I love You


Sarah Reeves:

Let this simple song I bring

Reach the ears of Majesty

I am falling on my knees

To worship You
