Where You Are
Jor'dan Armstrong Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Still none can compare
To the way that I feel when I'm with You
And if I had a million dollars
Received it every hour
I would still rather be with You
Even if I could do the things
Then the first thing that I would do
I would take an airplane
To the galaxy
Just so I could be with You
'Cause I wanna be where You are
I wanna see Your face
Basking in Your presence
I wanna feel Your grace
Bow before the throne
I wanna see Your scars
Touch the hem of Your garment
I wanna be where You are
I wanna be where You are
I wanna be where You are
I wanna be where you are
If I could look across the sky
Will I find You there
If I could make my way to Calvary
Will I find a cross that You once beared
Could I find You in my heart
Or in the praise that's on my mouth
Or would I find You at the North Pole
Or even deep within the south
I will go from coast to coast
Just to be with You
I would do the impossible
'Cause I wanna be with You
And I will apprehend, no
Matter how long or how far
And only one desire is
I wanna be where You are
I wanna see Your face
Basking in Your presence
I wanna feel Your grace
Bow before the throne
I wanna see Your scars
Touch the hem of Your garment
I wanna be where You are
I wanna be where You are
I wanna be where You are
I wanna be where You are
It's where I wanna be
I wanna be where You are
It's where I wanna be
In the presence of You Lord
Basking in your glory
I wanna be where You are
I wanna see your face
Basking in your presence
I wanna feel Your grace
Bow before the throne
I wanna see Your scars
Touch the hem of Your garment
I wanna be where You are
I wanna be where You are
