You gave it all for me
My soul desire my everything
All I am is devoted to You
How could I fail to see
You are the love that rescued me
All I am is devoted to You
And oh, how could I not be moved
Lord here with You
So have Your way in me
‘Cause Lord there is just one thing
And that I will seek
This is my cry, my one desire
Just to be where You are Lord
Now and forever
It’s more than a song, my one desire
Is to be with You, Is to be with You
Jesus
The one thing, the one thing
That I ask, is to be with You
The one thing, the one thing
That I ask, is to be with You
(repeat)
