Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
my heart is wandering far from home
Send me a sign to lead me out of darkness
I feel I've got so far to go
Lift my eyes to see
What a beautiful light when the sunrise hits the sky
I love this unbelievable view
I've got nowhere left to fall but on You
I know I stumble when I'm weak
I'm not where You want me to be
Help me to know when I've been overtaken
I must confess when I'm too deep
Open up my heart to see
What a beautiful light when the sunrise hits the sky
I love this unbelievable view
'Cause when I'm walking with the light, all the shadows run and hide
I've got nowhere left to fall but on You
So would You open the windows?
Let Your righteousness pour in
I feel the freedom of Your love
I will give You all my heart can give
What a beautiful light when the sunrise hits the sky
I love this unbelievable view
'Cause when I'm walking with the light, all the shadows run and hide
I've got nowhere left to fall but on You
What a beautiful light when the sunrise hits the sky
I love this unbelievable view
'Cause when I'm walking with the light, all the shadows run and hide
I've got nowhere left to fall but on You
