Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

You are the source of life
I can't be left behind
No one else will do
I will take hold of you
Cause I need you jesus
To come to me rescue
Where else can I go
There's no other name
By which I am saved
Capture me with grace
I will follow you
I will follow you
My heart is your for life
I need your hand in mine
No one else will do
I put my trust in you

Cause I need you jesus
To come to me rescue
Tell me Where else can I go
There's no other name
By which I am saved
Capture me with grace

I will follow you
I will follow you
I will fallow you
This world has nothing for me
This world has nothing for me
This world has nothing for me
This world has nothing for me

Cause I need you jesus
To come to me rescue
Where else can I go
There's no other name
By which I am saved
Capture me with grace

I will fallow you
I will trust in you
This world has nothing for me
I will trust in you




This world has nothing for me
I will fallow you
