Don’t want to leave this holy place
Don’t want to miss the smile on Your face
Right where You are I long to be
Safe in Your arms with You telling me
Telling me that everything will be all right
And You see every tear I cry
Down on my bended knee
Lord I don’t want to leave this holy place
Down on bended knee Lord I don’t want to leave
All that You have for me Lord I receive
You heal my infirmity
You restore every shattered dream
You’re the song when I cannot sing
You’re the words when I cannot speak
You’re my Comforter in the night
Help in troubled times
You encourage me tenderly
That is why I don’t want to leave
Down on my bended knee Lord I don’t want to leave
All that You have for me Lord I receive
Heal me restore me
Song when I cannot sing cannot speak
You are my Comforter in the night
Oh oh oh ooo
This holy place
This holy place
This holy place
This holy place
Ooo
