You Alone
Planetshakers Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

My greatest joy is within Your presence
Where the love You gave saved me
And my most treasured times are in the stillness
Where Your loving arms hold me

Cause You're all I want
You are all I search for
It is You I've always longed for

God I come
To be here with You
To be here for You and You alone

I worship You
With my heart and soul
Everything I give to You alone

All creation sings Your praises
Crowns You Lord of all

Kings and rulers bow before You
Hail You Lord of lords
