What a price You paid
What joy is mine
My heart is captive
To a love divine
I am overcome
With an endless peace
When I’m treading water
On Your rageing seas
This is love in its deepest form
A kind of love worth dying for
It’s a love that I can’t afford
I give it all but You still give more
Now I set my mind
Upon Your face
As You pull me under
In the depths of grace
And from this ocean wide
My soul will rise
Where eternal pleasures
Are before my eyes
I hear Your voice in the night
You’re calling
You’re calling out to me
I want the dreams of Your heart
I’m running
I’m running after You
I hear Your voice in the night
You’re calling
You’re calling out to me
Show me the dreams
Of Your heart, I’m running
I’m running after You
