Song Lyrics

---

You are wonderful to me
Your love stretches beyond time
You are all I really need
You know a heart like mine

For all You give, I want so much more
I can’t get enough of everything You do
If You asked I’d leave everything behind
Just so I could be forever near You

If I can’t have You then I want nothing else
If I can’t be near You then I’ll be by myself
Cause I could never convince my heart
That something else will do
Since even the next best thing
Could never compare to You

Who else could love me so completely
Your very presence makes me feel whole
If there were no You, I would feel so empty
I can feel You in the depths of my soul

I want to know You to hear Your voice
And I never want to hurt You
There is nothing that could satisfy
Like the light of Your truth

If I can’t have You then I want nothing else
If I can’t be near You then I’ll be by myself
Cause I could never convince my heart
That something else will do
Since even the next best thing
Could never compare to You

You hold me even if I can’t feel Your arms
Wish I could see the world through Your eyes
You see into the very heart of every soul
And I know that despite the world’s lies

You are real and You are here
Even in every single part
Of the deepest and secret
Depths of my heart

‘Cause I have You and I want nothing else
I am always near You, I’m never by myself
No one could ever convince my heart
That something else will do
Since even the next best thing
Could never compare to You
