I Fear You
Jeff Deyo Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I lay myself down below you
In reverence I bow
Beneath you, my Lord
I draw near to you forever
My Savior, my God, my Treasure
I stand here in awe
'Cause I fear you, my God
And I fear you, my King
And I trust you with my soul
And I love you with all my heart
And I fear you with all my life
I feel like a child around you
As I let all my praise surroud you
And I fall on my face
Astounded, my Lord
You hold the oceans within your hand
You count the galaxies
You know the mysteries of this world
You see what no one sees
Your hand can span the whole universe
You gave the stars their fame
You know my deepest of secrets, Lord
But still you have called me by name
