a-tension Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

This world has nothing here for me
I'm Yours alone

Your touch, Your Love is all I need
I'm drawing close

You need to increase
And I need to decrease

I want to be right where You are

Take me to You
Take me to Your heart
Come make me new
I want to see You as You are
I give You all of me
My Savior and my King
So take me to Your heart

You gave Your life, to set me free
My sins erased
Now I can come before Your throne
And body say

Take me to You
Take me to Your heart
Come make me new
I want to see You as You are
I give You all of me
My Savior and my King
So take me to Your heart

You need to increase
And I need to decrease
I want to be right where You are

Take me to You
Take me to Your heart
Come make me new
I want to see You as You are
I give You all of me

My Savior and my King
So take me to Your heart
