Place Of Worship
William McDowell Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I cry before You here in this place.
I give my all, just to be hold
Just to be near, here in this place.
Just You and me, everything's so clear.
Now I am free, just You and me.
Don't care who sees, I don't care who hears,
Oh, how I love this place of worship.
(Oh God, I long to be with You.
More than anything, Lord.)
Oh, how I love this place with You. [4x]
Free to dance with You, free to sing to You
Free to hear from You. When I'm with You I am...
[4x]
Free to worship, free to bow down,
Free... to cry out. When I'm with You I am...
[4x]
Free... When I'm with You I am...
[4x]
