Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I don't care what it looks like
This love has to be released
I don't care what it sounds like
It's with the heart that You are pleased
This love, it builds up inside me
An explosion, the only relief
Here I come with my worship
chorus 1:
I'll jump and lift my hands
Till I can barely stand
As I give my all to You, in worship
I will bow down to my knees
Facedown before my King
All this to be seen by Your eyes only
bridge:
Hallelujah
chorus 2:
I'll sing till there's no voice
Then with every breath, rejoice
As I give my all to You, in worship
If I shout Your highest praise
Or stand silently amazed
A sacrifice is made for Your ears only
