Sanctuary
K.Zia Lyrics

I can listen to a sermon at home
I can learn about You from anywhere.

I can pray in my car
I can talk to You, seek guidance anywhere.

I can sing to You in my shower
I can praise You, show love anywhere.

But I wanna be where You are
I want to feel Your presence, be close to You.

And though You're everywhere
I know You exist all around us.

I don't always feel You like I do there
I feel most connected with You when I'm in Your sanctuary.

God I love Your sanctuary
Your sanctuary is where I feel most loved and connected to You.

Where Your glorious presence dwells
Your glory fills the sanctuary, making it a sacred place.

And You love to meet me here
You desire to connect with me and meet me in this holy place.

And bring me to your well
You replenish me, offer me a source of refreshment.

When I'm tired and thirsty
During my struggles and in times of need.

You never disappoint
You always fulfill me, make me whole.

So I'll bring my song of gratitude
I'll offer You praise and thanks for all You do.

Then go tell of the wonders You do
I'll share Your goodness with others, spread the word of all You do.

I can commune with You out in nature
I can connect with You in the beauty of Your creation.

Alone on a mountain top
In isolation, admiring Your creation from a high point.

I can decide to talk to You, Jesus
I choose to communicate with You openly and honestly.

Really in any old spot
Anywhere I feel the need to pray or talk to You.

I don't always hear You like I do there
I feel most connected to You in Your sanctuary.

There's something about the way
There is a power, an unexplainable force.

Your people come together and pray
When we gather together and worship You in unity.

Oh there's something in the air there
The atmosphere of Your sanctuary is distinct and holy in a way that is indescribable.

That makes the Devil run scared
The power of Your presence repels evil and darkness.

Oh there's something in the praise
The act of worshipping You together fuels a special movement of Your spirit.

Of a hundred voices raised
When we lift our voices to You in unison.

That moves the Heavens in a greater way
Our praise and worship is so powerful that it reverberates through the universe.

That changes hearts in a single day
Gathering together and worshipping You has the power to transform our lives in just one day.

Oh they can try to close it's doors
Though others may try to destroy or discredit Your sanctuary.

But Your sanctuary won't be ignored
Your sanctuary will always stand, preserved in our hearts and souls.

We'll come
We'll gather to worship in Your sanctuary.

O God, we'll come
We'll come to meet and encounter You in Your sanctuary.

For Your presence, we'll come
We'll worship You and seek Your presence in Your holy dwelling place.

God, You never disappoint me
You always meet my needs.

Yeah I'll bring my song of gratitude
I'll offer You continual thanks and praise for all You do.

Then go tell of the wonders You do
I'll share about Your greatness and love to all who need to hear it.
