Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

VERSE 1:
I'm bowing down, I'm pushing through
Coming in to meet with You
To hear Your voice, to see Your beauty
In You I live

VERSE 2:
You lift me up, I'm letting go
Speak my name and pull me close
To hear Your voice, to see Your beauty
In You I live

CHANNEL:
Everything else is fading away in Your brightness
I wanna stay right here till I shine with Your likeness

CHORUS:




One thing I seek, one thing I ask I wanna live in Your house
To worship You all my days I wanna see Your face

This song is so joy filled and uplifting. Loving this worship and praise here on the west coast of Australia. So true that everything else fades away when we look at Him. Be blessed.

A beautiful rendition of Psalms 27. As Yashua taught the house of the Lord was him this would be the sign. They would tear the house down you would build it up and Zeal for the Lord's Temple would consume him. Lord Jesus I seek to hear your voice to let you come in and dine with me and I dine with you

This song will never go out of style...

@Orthodox-Christian

Thank you.

@riverrat8693

Its insane that you are not famous yet. People don't have very good taste. You're way more spirit filled and talented than half of the peoole on main steam Christian stations....

@isaacandandanne

It's an experience, not a contest.

@riverrat8693

@Isaac StimsonĀ  you clearly missed the point so keep you're stupid annoying worthless opinions to yourself.

@isaacandandanne

@@riverrat8693 I agree that she is very talented and anointed. I think she is already pretty famous. I know many mainstream stations could use more authentic worship and presence of the Holy Spirit. Sorry you took offense. Not intended.

@riverrat8693

@Isaac StimsonĀ  sorry I nerd raged on ya. I felt like you were just trying to be a know it all antagonist. I get that a lot and I just don't deal with it very well. Since it's the internet I just say what I want sometimes even though I shouldn't. But sometimes it's good for skeptics to see that you can be a Christian and be a mess still. I think it might be encouraging to some to realize that we aren't all fake. That being said I shouldn't of said those things so I do apologize. They aren't true and I don't even feel that way. Not even sure why I said it. I guess I enjoy telling ppl off sometimes. šŸ¤· I'm still very immature in many ways but I'm actually okay with it. It's also embarrassing so that helps me too. Anyway sorry and hope you're well. Maybe someday I won't take offense to everything. Probably a childhood rejection issue...
