Strip everything away ’til all I have is You
Undo the veils so all I see is You
I will pursue You I will pursue Your presence
I will pursue You I will pursue Your presence
(I’m coming after You)
Open my eyes search me inside
I can’t live without Your presence
I can’t live without Your presence
I’m pressing into You so do not pass me by
I’m breaking through the boundaries
I will not be denied
I can’t live without Your presence
I can’t live without Your presence
