Song Lyrics

---

Nothing’s the way that is should be
I can see it in my life
We’ve fallen so short of Your glory
And it happens all the time
But You have rescued me
And in Your presence I am free

When I’m with You
I’m surrounded by a love
That covers all my shame
And here with You
I live every moment
For the glory of Your name
And I’m whole again
My heart has been made new
There’s joy within
It always happens when I’m with You

I’ve stumbled oh so many times
And I’ve been known to fall
I’ve lost myself in all the lies
And I’ve ignored Your call
But You have ransomed me
And by Your blood You have made peace

When I’m with You
I’m surrounded by a love
That covers all my shame
And here with You
I live every moment
For the glory of Your name
And I’m whole again
My heart has been made new
There’s joy within
It always happens when I’m with You

You wash me clean
My sin is gone without a trace
My eyes have seen
All the wonders of Your grace
In the One who died
To take my place

When I’m with You
I’m surrounded by a love
That covers all my shame
And here with You
I live every moment
For the glory of Your name
And I’m whole again
My heart has been made new
There’s joy within
It always happens when I’m with You
