Song Lyrics

---

I can hear You in the quiet
I can’t explain it
The feeling that stirs my heart
There’s nothing else quite like it
I can’t contain it
Feels like it’s tearing me apart
There’s a part of me that wants to run away
But I find myself on my knees as I start to pray

Take me up in Your arms
Plant a kiss here on my cheek
Take me up in Your love
Let the pull of this life grow weak
And with the weight of light
Fill my soul with fire
Oh, God of glory
All consuming desire

I can feel You so near me
I don’t understand it
But it’s all I want somehow
Your call comes through so clearly
I can’t deny it
I’ll follow You anywhere right now
And the closer I get I find that I’m wanting more
Oh, this feels like all that I was ever made for

Take me up in Your arms
Plant a kiss here on my cheek
Take me up in Your love
Let the pull of this life grow weak
And with the weight of light
Fill my soul with fire
Oh, God of glory
All consuming desire

Can a heart break from endless longing
Could I explode with this love
I’d rain down showers of light
But would that even be enough
Oh God, You overwhelm me
But maybe that’s exactly what I need

Take me up in Your arms
Plant a kiss here on my cheek
Take me up in Your love
Let the pull of this life grow weak
And with the weight of light
Fill my soul with fire
Oh, God of glory
All consuming desire
