Wasted so much time just trying to find
The kind of love the world could never provide
And I have lost myself just trying to be found
But in every turn, You are always around
And despite my sin and shame
You still call me by my name
I need not fight for Your love
I need not strive for Your grace
For You alone are enough
To You, I lift my gaze
I need not chase down Your heart
I need not struggle to be heard
For You are never too far
I know You hear every word
Better is one day in Your presence than a thousand elsewhere
There's no use to try to earn Your love
No amount of good could ever satisfy
Not even the gravest sin could ever change Your mind
For both in life and death I'm Yours and You are mine
And despite my sin and shame
You still call me by my name
I need not fight for Your love
I need not strive for Your grace
For You alone are enough
To You, I lift my gaze
I need not chase down Your heart
I need not struggle to be heard
For You are never too far
I know You hear every word
Better is one day in Your presence than a thousand elsewhere
You are beside me, within me
Lord, You go before me
And You know me, You see me
So why then should I flee
You are beside me, within me
Lord, You go before me
And You know me, You see me
So why then should I flee
From Your presence, Your mercy
That You freely give me
Lord remind me that I need
Nothing but You with me
Oh Your presence, Your mercy
That You freely give me
Lord remind me that I need
Nothing but You with me
You are faithful
You are able
You are good
So, so, so, so good
You are able God
You are able Father
I need not fight for Your love
I need not strive for Your grace
For You alone are enough
To You, I lift my gaze
I need not chase down Your heart
I need not struggle to be heard
For You are never too far
I know You hear every word
Better is one day in Your presence
Better is one day in Your presence
Than a thousand elsewhere
