Tight
U.City Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴

Oh, wretched man that I am
Who will free me from this body of death?
I'm so glad that Your reach is further than my run
And I know that every fall, You catch me

Sayin' I can always trust You
Even though I got these trust issues
You chose me, I didn't choose You
Showin' me a love I never knew

It's not easy for me
'Cause I like to lead
But I know that Your love is better
You're the air that I breathe
And You're holdin' all things
Yeah, I know that Your love is better

So I will hold tight
God, I know You got something in store for me
Faithful as the sunrise
I know that Your light will always shine on me

Better than I'll, I'll ever know, ohh
Better than I'll, I'll ever know (I'll ever know)

I don't know the feeling, I don't understand
Trustin' that You'll lead me to the promise land
Every second, every minute, every hour
I know that You're workin' things together

It's not easy for me
'Cause I like to lead
But I know that Your love is better
You're the air that I breathe
And You're holdin' all things
Yeah, I know that Your love is better

I will hold tight
God, I know You got something in store for me
Faithful as the sunrise
I know that Your light will always shine on me

It's better than I'll, I'll ever know
It's better than I'll, I'll ever know (I'll ever know)
It's better than I've, I've ever known, ohh (ooh)
It's better than I've, I've ever known (ooh)
It's better, it's better
It's better than I'll, I'll ever know (ooh)
It's better than I'll, I'll ever know (ooh)

I will hold tight
God, I know You got something in store for me
Faithful as the sunrise
I know that Your light will always shine on me

It's better than I'll, I'll ever know
It's better than I'll, I'll ever know

So I will hold tight (ooh)
God, I know You got something in store for me
You're faithful as the sunrise (ooh)
I know that Your light will always shine on me





It's better than I've, I've ever known, oh
It's better than I'll, I'll ever know
