Telling me I can't let go
So I'm holding on to You
Your word it is written on my heart
Breathing life into my core
So I'm holding on to You
I found my life in Jesus Christ
Woah my heart is Yours and Yours alone
Oh God, there's a whisper in my soul
Telling me I can't let go
So I'm holding on to You
Your word it is written on my heart
Breathing life into my core
So I'm holding on to You
Now I know that hope's alive
I found my life in Jesus Christ
Woah my heart is Yours and Yours alone
Now I know that hope's alive
I found my life in Jesus Christ
Woah my heart is Yours and Yours alone
It's love it's Your love that overtakes me
It burns like a fire
Deep within my heart
It's love it's Your love that overwhelms me
Like wind, like the tide
It's rushing through my soul
It's love it's Your love that overtakes me
It burns like a fire
Deep within my heart
It's love it's Your love that overwhelms me
Like wind, like the tide
It's rushing through my soul
