Mainstay Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Wonder in my eyes, the world feels so alive
I just speak Your name and my heart seems to change
God of truth and grace, I can only praise You
And the stars are singing
Out the glory of Your wondrous love
Heaven's reaching down
Healer of my heart
Come burn away the dark
Under soft twilight
I can hear Your voice tonight
And the stars are singing
Out the glory of Your wondrous love
Heaven's reaching down
To show me all that You have done for me
And Your name is higher than the heavens
And Your glory fills a million skies
And Your heart is reaching down from heaven
And my soul cries out, my soul cries out to You
And the stars are singing
Out the glory of Your wondrous love
Heaven's reaching down
To show me all that You have done
And the stars are singing
Out the glory of Your wondrous love
Heaven's reaching down
To show me all that You have done for me
