Sanctify
Delirious Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Here I am In that old place again
Down on my face again
Crying out I want you to hear my plea
Come down and rescue me

How long will it take?
How long will I have to wait?
And all I want is all you have
Come to me, rescue me,
Fall on me with your love
And all you want is all I have
Come to me, rescue me,
Fall on me with your love

Sanctify I want to be set apart
Right to the very heart
Prophesy to the four winds
And breathe lide to this very place

How long will it take?
How long will I have to wait?

And all I want is all you have
Come to me, rescue me,
Fall on me with your love
And all you want is all I have
Come to me, rescue me,
Fall on me with your love

Lifted up I've climbed with the strength I have
Right to this mountain top




Looking out the cloud's getting bigger now
It's time to get ready now

My wife and I made the trip from Seattle, WA to be there at the legendary Wembley Stadium. We will never forget. We stayed in the home of a couple we had never met. They became our best friends. We visit them still. They have attended the weddings of our kids. God is beyond amazing.
