Right now, I can alone feel your very existence
The air that I breathe around you is so sweet
I am sure that others around can hear my heart beat
Can you not see, can you not hear the thunder?
All I desire to do is to you my life surrender
It’s all for you
Everything is for you alone
I long to sit beside your throne
I sometimes feel like a wandering lost soul
Whereby sometimes life for me has taken its toll
But still I carry on moving forward in the rain
Please don’t look at me if you need someone to blame
I can’t carry everyone’s burdens on my shoulders
But I know you once carried some mighty big boulders
You took it all
For every single man you took it all
Whereby you paid the full cost of our sins
Moving swiftly on I think back to many years ago
Whereby I was then lost for you I didn’t know
I was so naïve and sometimes at a loss for words
Whereby I longed to be free and single like a bird
I looked at other faiths and hence was looking for something
And every single year I just carried on hunting
To know the truth
I thereby needed to know the truth
And to be set free from all that was going on inside
I finally found you at last back when things went wrong
I just knew in the end that with you is where I belonged
It took a very long time for me to face harsh reality
You wanted to save me from the earth’s calamity
The price for me was so hard to pay back then
Until I knew that for me your Son Jesus you sent
To set me free
All you wanted was to set me free
And be the person you paid who paid the price for me
You knew me before I was a seed in my mother’s womb
I guess you knew that for you in my heart there was room
For love to grow so steadily so strongly
I needed to step out in faith and go out boldly
To take you deep inside this heart of mine that was raw
From heaven’s gates whereby, everything you saw
Was for your desire
My love for you was your desire
To enter your throne room was at your core
Now I can run as free as a bird in the sky
I no longer need to doubt, and I no longer need to lie
To myself for on your shoulders you took my pain
For me to follow you was for me the only way
Otherwise who knows where I might have ended up
Perhaps lost forever or lying dead in a bath tub
You knew my heart
Yes, Lord always you knew my heart
For by faith I am saved, and grace has set me free indeed
