Ooohhhh
(This is my testimony)
There is nothing,
I desire,
More than to be,
Where you are,
Cause when I'm with you
My broken heart
Is mended
I, Am, Totally,
Set Free
In the presence of the King
There is I desire
More than to be just where you are
When I'm with you
Chains are broken
I am totally set free
(In the presence of the king)
There is nothing more than I desire
More than to be just where you are
When I'm with you
My enemies have to flee
I am totally, I'm totally set free
When I'm in the presence of the King
There is nothing I desire
More than to be just where you are
When I'm with you
Chains are broken
I am totally set free [2x]
Draw me nearer,
(Draw me nearer Jesus, I just wanna be close to you God),
I Pray
(Let me feel your presence, Let me feel your presence, so that I...)
So that I won't go astray
When I'm with you
Everything is put together
I am totally,totally set free
In the presence,
In the presence of the King
I am totally set free
In the presence of the King [4x]
In the presence of the King!
