The Shadow of Your Face
Bob Fitts Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Of Your lovely face
I will lift my voice to extol
Your tender mercy and Your grace
I cannot live without Your love Oh Lord
I cannot breathe without Your breath
I cannot sing without Your song Oh Lord
Ringing deeply in my breast
Oh where can I go
From Your presence Lord
You are with me
All of my days
In my deepest despair
To the highest place
I will remain
Here in the shadow of Your face
Where can I go without You Lord
In the shadow
I will live my life in the shadow
Of Your lovely face
I will lift my voice to extol
Your tender mercy and Your grace
I cannot live without Your love Oh Lord
I cannot breathe without Your breath
I cannot sing without Your song Oh Lord
Ringing deeply in my breast
Oh Where can I go
From Your presence Lord
All of my days
In my deepest despair
To the highest place
Lord I will remain
Here in the shadow of Your face
Where can I go without You Lord
I will remain here Lord
I cannot live without you Lord
Oh I cannot live without Your love Oh Lord
I cannot breathe without Your breath
I cannot sing without Your songs Oh Lord
Ringing deeply in my breast
Where can I go
From Your presence Lord
You are with me
All of my days
In my deepest despair
To the highest place
Oh I will remain
Here in the shadow of Your face
Where can I go without You Lord
Where can I go
In the shadow
How can i live without You Lord
In the shadow
Jesus oh oh
Lord we cannot live without You God
Like Peter we say where can we go Lord
To find the words of Life beside You
In You we find healing, strength, deliverance
You are Life to us God
