C3 (Christian City Church Oxford Falls) Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I'm found in life
forever
forever
You calm the raging sea
the waves around me
around me
Heal the wounds that burden me inside
inside
Here I wait in the quiet
in the silence
Here I stay in the quiet
in the silence
With you
with you
with you I'll wait
With you
with you
with you I'll stay
Here with you a moment lasts forever
forever
You hold the broken heart in me together
together
Burn up every shadow in your life
No guilt no shame I'm on the other side
Here I wait in the quiet
in the silence
Here I stay in the quiet
in the silence
With you
with you
with you I'll wait
With you
with you
with you I'll stay
My God is louder than the voice agaist me
My God is stronger he's the hand that pulls me out
My God is bigger than the walls around me
My God is stronger he's the hand that breaks them down
My God is louder than the voice agaist me
My God is stronger he's the hand that pulls me out
My God is bigger than the walls around me
My God is stronger he's the hand that breaks them down
My God is louder than the voice agaist me
My God is stronger he's the hand that pulls me out
My God is bigger than the walls around me
My God is stronger he's the hand that breaks them down
My God is everything
everything
everything
My God is everything
everything
everything
My God is everything
everything
everything
My God is everything
everything
everything
