CREATOR, SUSTAINER, our hearts were made for You
Our Abba, our Father, the home we’re running to
Drawn by your kindness, held by your grace
Your generous mercy inspires songs of praise
Wonderful, wonderful, You’re the one thing that we need
How we long for Your house, for the healing that it brings
Beautiful, beautiful, more than any other thing
We were born for Your courts, for the presence of the king
Protector, provider, the God who calls us friend
Our shepherd, our shelter, we turn to You again
You’re all we need Lord Jesus, our hearts were made for You
You’re all we need Lord Jesus, no other God will do
