HERE I BATHE IN YOUR LIGHT
I’m held by Your gaze
Your eyes burn through my soul
Yet I’m not afraid
You have seen me, known me
Yet I am safe
Holy are you Lord
Like a moth to a flame
I’m drawn to Your throne
You consume me
Yet I am not destroyed
Mercy fills me, heals me
And I am saved
Holy are You Lord
Far beyond words
Holy are You Lord
All power and love
Beauty and grace
Wisdom and strength
Belong to You alone
