Matt Redman Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And we're breathing out Your praise
The more we see, we sing
The circle never ends
For Your glory never fades
And surely as the rising sun
Your love O Lord endures, Your love endures forever
To the depths of Your heart
Your majesty surrounds us
In the power of Your life
In the grace of Your cross
Your mercy has found us
Your power we see displayed
In all that You have made
In the sky and sea and stars
And here beneath Your cross
Your mercy speaks so loud
Speaking straight into our hearts
And surely as the rising sun
Your love O Lord endures, Your love endures forever
And the more we see, we sing
"Holy is the name of the Lord"
And the more we see, we sing
"There is no one like You, God"
Your majesty surrounds us
Your mercy, Lord, has found us
There is no one like You, God
