THERE IS NOWHERE ELSE I’D RATHER BE
Than in Your presence
Even in the wilderness I’ll seek
For Your direction
I’m calling, I’m longing for more of You
I’m running, I’m running after You
Cause no one else will ever do
Lord my heart is set on You
King of glory You’re my great reward
My one desire
Only You can satisfy my soul
Please take me higher
I’m running, I’m running after You
Cause no one else will ever do
Lord my heart is set on you
Only You
I’m longing, I long to see Your face
To feel the warmth of Your embrace
Lord I’m running after You
You are my reward
And it’s You I’m living for
Take all that I have for I am Yours
