Maranatha! Music Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Still your mercy remains,
And should I stumble again,
Still I'm caught in your grace.
Everlasting, Your light will shine when all else fades.
Never ending, Your glory goes beyond all fame.
My heart and my soul, Lord I give you control.
Let justice and praise become my embrace,
To love You from the inside out.
Your will above all else, my purpose remains.
The art of losing myself in bringing you praise.
Everlasting, Your light will shine when all else fades.
Never ending, Your glory goes beyond all fame.
In my heart, in my soul, Lord I give you control.
Consume me from the inside out Lord.
Let justice and praise become my embrace,
To love You from the inside out.
