Tommy Walker Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

As we draw near
Draw near to us
As we seek You first
Add all things to us
'Cause where You are
Life's greates joy is found
Our hungry souls are fed
Our deepest longings met

Where You are
Where You are
Where You are O Lord
Right here where You are

In Your house O God
There is perfect light
All the darkness flees
And all Your glory's seen
Where You live O Lord
Your sweet deliverance flows
And where You dwell
There's love and blessed hope

Where You abide
There is perfect peace
Our greatest fears let go
And there is pure release
In this holy place
Our faith in You grows strong

To see Your healing pow'are
With grace and mercy fall
