HERE IN THE SHADOW of Your holiness
Where I can barely speak Your praise
More than a moment in Your sanctuary
This is the promise of Your grace
This is the promise of Your grace
Here I’ll stay
Thousands of angels standing at Your side
Millions of voices sing;Your;praise
So humbled Lord that You would welcome me
This is the promise of Your grace
This is the promise of Your grace
Here I’ll stay
How can I not adore You?
How can I not adore You?
How can I not adore You
For the promise of Your grace?
