Taken up out of the world
Shaken up with just a word
Turned around so suddenly
I’m alive eternally
Something invisible
Has become so beautiful
I know I am born again
Laughing and stumbling
Draw me after You let me run with You
Show me all Your kingdom come
My heart is where my treasure lies
My great reward is in Your eyes
My every breath belongs to You
You are my treasure
(Yea yea)
(Yes You are Lord)
Take the world up out of me
Put the fruit back on the tree
I give everything to be
What only You want me to be
The treasure that You’ve become
Is shining brighter than the sun
Feels like I am born again
But I’m stumbling
