Erase
Geoff Moore Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Until nothing ever separates us
And we love like You love
And we ache when you ache
And our heart is undone
By what makes Your heart break.
And we hear what You hear
And the difference is erased
Erase all the distance between us
Replace all the space with Your presence
Until we love like You love
And we ache when you ache
And our hearts are undone
By what makes Your heart break.
And we hear what You hear
And we see what You see
And the distance is erased
So build me up
Or tear me down
Until Your heart is all that's found.
I want to love like You love
I want to ache when you ache
I want my heart to be undone
By what makes Your heart break
I want to hear what You hear
I want to see what You see
Until the difference is erased
Between us
