Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
There is love like no other
He who formed all things
Offers love to me
Where You go we will follow
Through the dark, through the narrow
And in all we do
I wanna be close to You
I wanna be close to You
There's nothing in this world
That compares to all You are
We are found in Your presence
Seeking You in Your fullness
Give us eyes to see
You are all we need
I wanna be close to You
I wanna be close to You
There's nothing in this world
That compares to all You are
I wanna be close to You
I wanna be close to You
There's nothing in this world
That compares to all You are
My sole devotion
My only focus
To worship You
My life surrendered
My heart abandoned
For more of You
My sole devotion
My only focus
To worship You
My life surrendered
My heart abandoned
For more of You
I wanna be close to You
I wanna be close to You
There's nothing in this world
That compares to all You are
I wanna be close to You
I wanna be close to You
There's nothing in this world
That compares to all You are
My sole devotion
My only focus
To worship You
My life surrendered
My heart abandoned
For more of You
My sole devotion
My only focus
To worship You
My life surrendered
My heart abandoned
For more of You
