Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Can't speak so close I can feel You breathe
You're so holy and worthy
You know where I've been

Can't move so close to You
I'm see through
No not innocent like You
Oh God, I'm sorry

I'm livin' in awe
You don't need me at all
But You couldn't love me more
I'm livin in awe
Every day I fall
But You never let me go
I'm livin' in awe, awe
Livin' in awe, awe

I can't speak so close I can feel You breathe
You're so holy and worthy
You know where I've been
I can't move so close to You
I'm see through
No not innocent like You
Oh God, I'm sorry (I'm sorry)

I'm livin' in awe
'Cause You don't need me at all
But You couldn't love me more
I, I'm livin in awe
And every day I fall
But You never let me go
I'm livin' in awe, awe
I'm livin' in awe, awe
I'm livin' in awe of you

Xxxx
'Cause Your love is overwhelming
Your love is overwhelming
It's only You and me here
And Your love is overwhelming
Your love is overwhelming
I can barely breathe here
I'm living in awe
'Cause You don't need me at all
But You couldn't love me more
You couldn't love me more




You couldn't love me more
You couldn't love me more

Não posso falar tão perto que posso sentir Você respira
Você é tão santo e digno
Você sabe onde eu estive
Não pode se mover tão perto de você
Eu vejo através
Não, não é inocente, como você
Oh Deus, desculpe
Eu estou vivendo com admiração
Você não precisa de mim
Mas você não poderia me amar mais Eu estou vivendo com admiração
Todos os dias eu cai
Mas você nunca me deixou ir
Eu estou vivendo com admiração
Estou vivendo com você
Porque seu amor é esmagador
Seu amor é esmagador
É só você e eu aqui
E seu amor é esmagador
Seu amor é esmagador
Mal consigo respirar aqui
Estou vivendo com admiração
Porque você não precisa de mim
Mas você não poderia me amar mais ❤️

I'm trying to think of this song and the message this brings out about our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ as I am struggling with studying for final exams. Jesus never abandons us. 😧 I need lots of prayer
