adore
Erik Nieder Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
So I come to the water's edge
You're all I have and all I need
Wash over me with perfect peace
I will adore You
Be still before You
Eternal King, Jesus my everything
These weary hands have nothing left
So I come to the water's edge
You're all I have and all I need
Is more of You and less of me
Bridge 1a:
I will seek You, I will find You
When all of my heart be surrendered to You
In all of my longing, in all of my waiting
In all of Your glory Your grace will meet me
Bridge 1b:
I will seek You, I will find You
When all of my heart be surrendered to You
In all of my longing, in all of my waiting
In all of Your glory my God You'll meet me
