| I understand what I’ve been told
|
| You’re what I’ve heard but barely known
|
| Like a man who’s mastered every tongue
|
| But never left his home
|
| My hungry heart is discontent
|
| With petty thought and argument
|
| So they can keep their sermonettes
|
| I want the Christ not just his silhouette
|
| Take me above the sun, moon and stars
|
| There’s so much more I can see
|
| If You would just carry me Up to the place where You are
|
| Take me, my love, escape with my heart
|
| In chasing You
|
| I will run right past the radiant sun
|
| Until I find myself right where You are
|
| Right where You are
|
| I wanna board the northbound train
|
| And go on up to heaven’s gate
|
| You said to seek and I will find
|
| Well, here I come, no turning round this time
|
| I want to taste the height and depth
|
| And live inside Your length and breadth
|
| And comprehend with all the saints
|
| As why Your love has never left, no, no Take me above the sun, moon and stars
|
| There’s so much more I can see
|
| If You would just carry me Up to the place where You are
|
| Take me, my love, escape with my heart
|
| In chasing You
|
| I will run right past the radiant sun
|
| Until I find myself right where You are
|
| I’m not an orphan, I’m a runaway
|
| You’ve always been there for me So if You’re willing to receive a stray
|
| I will gladly run into Your arms
|
| Its exactly where I always wanna be Take me above the sun, moon and stars
|
| There’s so much more I can see
|
| If You would just carry me Up to the place where You are
|
| Take me my love, escape with my heart
|
| In chasing You
|
| I will run right past the radiant sun
|
| Until I find myself right, oh, right where You are
|
| Right where You are
|
| Oh, right where You are |
