WHERE DID YOU GO Jesus where did You go
You flew into the clouds we worship and we doubt
Now I’m leaping for joy and sinking
So where are You now tell me where are You now
Hidden in the skies behind the poor man’s eyes
In our waiting and our serving
Until You take us home
I’ll leave a light on for You my Lord
I’ll leave a light on for You my Lord
Your Spirit inside burning bright
I’ll leave a light on
Until You return
Here You are found
Jesus here You are found
In the breaking of the bread
The waking of the dead
In our dying and our rising
Until You take us
Give me oil in my lamp
Keep it burning ’til the break of day
Give me oil in my lamp
Keep it burning ’til the break of day
Give me oil in my lamp
Give me oil in my lamp
Keep me burning ’til the break of day
I’ll leave a light on
Shine on through the darkness
I’ll leave a light on
Shine on shine on
Matt Maher
