Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And I can′t be left behind
No one else will do
And I will take hold of You
I need You, Jesus
To come to my rescue
Where else can I go?
By which I am saved
Capture me with grace
I will follow You
You are the source of life
And I can′t be left behind
No one else will do
And I will take hold of You
'Cause I need You, Jesus
To come to my rescue
Where else can I go?
There's no other name
By which I am saved
Capture me with grace
And I need You, Jesus
To come to my rescue
Where else can I go?
There′s no other name
By which I am saved
Capture me with grace
I will follow You
I will follow You
I will follow You
This world has nothing for me
I will follow You
This world has nothing for me
I will follow You
This world has nothing for me

Lord, come and capture me with grace
Capture me with grace
