Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Bought with a price I'm not my own
I'm seated in the heavenlies
And there's no place I'd rather be
Than with You forever Lord
I'm created for You alone
Bought with a price I'm not my own
And there's no place I'd rather be
Than with You forever Lord
Than with You forever Lord
Than with You forever Lord
You are my treasure
Faithful Lord, fill my cup
With your grace and love, Your grace and love
The pleasures that this world's sure of
Will never be enough, can never be enough
Cause I'm created for You alone
Bought with a price I'm not my own
I'm seated in the heavenlies
And there's no place I'd rather be
Than with You forever Lord
You are my treasure
Faithful Lord, fill my cup
With your grace and love, Your grace and love
The pleasures that this world's sure of
They will never be enough, can never be enough
Cause I'm created for You alone
Bought with a price I'm not my own
I'm seated in the heavenlies
And there's no place I'd rather be
Than with You forever Lord
You are my treasure
I'm created for You alone
Bought with a price I'm not my own
I'm seated in the heavenlies
And there's no place I'd rather be
Than with You forever Lord
Than with You forever Lord
Than with You forever Lord
You are my treasure
You are my treasure
You are my treasure
You are my treasure
