Wayne Wade Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Is all that I long for
To worship You Jesus
Is my sole desire
For this very heart
You have shaped for Your pleasure
Purposed to lift Your name higher
Here in surrender
I enter Your courts
With an offering of praise
I am Your servant
Come to bring You glory
As is fit for the work of Your hands
Now unto the Lamb
Who sits on the throne
Be glory and honor and praise
All of creation resounds with the song
Worship and praise Him the Lord of Lords
Spirit now living
And dwelling within me
Keep my eyes fixed
Ever on Jesus′ face
Let not the things
Of this world ever sway me
I'll run till I finish the race
Unto the Lamb
Who sits on the throne
Be glory and honor and praise
All of creation resounds with the song
Worship and praise the Lord
Now...
