Watershed Worship Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I love you, I want you to love
I see you, can't you see me?
I'm waiting here for you
cos I will be the first one running oh the day you believe
Before you were even born I wore a crown of thorn so you and i could be together
I lived my life for you and I gave my life for you so one day we could spend forever
Face to Face.
When you are hurting, I will heal you
When you are crying, I can hear you
I'm listening, talk to me yea yea
Cos I know how hard life can be oh
Believe me I live too
Before you were even born, I wore a crown of thorn so you and I could be together
I lived my life for you and I gave my life so one day we can spend forever
Face to Face.
Was shaking from the pain
I thought about your name
So glad that I could take your place there
I let them torture me and nailed me to a tree
So one day we could spend forever
Forever Face to Face oh
I wonna spend forever with you
face to face
I wonna see your face oh oh
