Touch Your Robe
Gable Price and Friends Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I wanna live in Surrender, I'm laying down my sword
I want to hunt like you do for the beaten and the bruised
I want to know you God
I wanna see you face to face right in front of me
I want to hear your whisper calm a raging sea
I wanna feel your heart, for the broken tragedies
I just wanna touch your Robe, catch a glimpse of your heart
I just wanna give you all of my alabaster jar
I wanna know you. I don't care what it costs. I want to know you
I wanna be like David when I worship you my Lord
I wanna live in Surrender, I'm laying down my sword
I want to hunt like you do for the beaten and the bruised
I want to know you God
Because on that cross you were thinking about me
When you robbed the grave you brought our victory
I wanna know you God
When you made your heart my home, you didn't make me take my shoes off, you didn't care what I've stepped in
When you say I'm clean, I'm clean

It’s beautiful how the the strung of the guitars , thump of the piano , rattle of the shaker , base of the drum , and scenic flow of his voice sombers a melodic remedy to the beat of Gods heart . There music truly is the sound of love . And the presence of the Holy spirits strums the voice of God to all hearts . Even ones voice holds and orchestra of God’s glory 🤍
