Chorus:
Show me Your glory.
Show me Your glory.
I want to gaze into the beauty of Your holiness.
So show me Your glory, I'm desperate to see,
I will be still as You reveal Your glory.
I am drawing near to worship You,
There's a longing in my heart to be with You.
Call my name and I will answer You,
In humble truth, Lord, here I am.
Hide me in Your hand and show me Your glory,
I'm desperate to see, and I will be still as You
Reveal,
I will be still as You reveal,
I will be still as You reveal Your glory.
