Your presence Lord to fill the room
Your glory Lord to shine around
Your mercies Lord come falling down
This one thing I desire of You
To seek Your face in all I do
Behold the fragrance of that place
Oh the wonder of Your love
The beauty of Your face
To know the freedom of
Your all surpassing grace
My one desire oh Lord
Is to know and love You more
To know the closeness of
The one that I adore
Cause I've got this Joy within me
And I just can't hold it in
Your arms of love around me
You paid for all my sin
I've got this Joy within me
And I just can't keep it in
Your fire it burns inside me
Your spirit makes me sing
And I've got this Joy within me
And I just can't hold it in
Your arms of love around me
You paid for all my sin
And I've got this Joy within me
And I just can't keep it in
Your fire it burns inside me
Your spirit makes me sing
