Jenn Johnson Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I go before you now
I stand beside you
I'm all around you
And though you feel I'm far away
I'm closer than your breath
I am with you
More than you know
I am the Lord your peace
No evil will conquer you
Steady now your heart and mind
Come into my rest
And oh, let your faith arise
And lift up your weary head
I am with you
Wherever you go
Come to me, I'm all you need
Come to me, I'm everything
Come to me, I'm all you need
Come to me, I'm your everything
I am your anchor, in the wind and the waves
And I am your steadfast, so don't be afraid
Though your heart and flesh may fail you
I'm your faithful strength
And I am with you
Wherever you go
Come to me, I'm all you need
Come to me, I'm your everything
Come to me, I'm all you need
Come to me, I'm your everything
Don't look to the right or to the left, keep your eyes on me
You will not be shaken, you will not be moved, oh
I am the hand to hold, I am the truth, I am the way, hey
Just come to me, come to me cause I'm all that you need
