THERE IS NO OTHER PLACE
That I would rather be,
Than in Your house,
It’s where I’m meant to be.
Here I can fly,
And here my dreams can live:
I have decided.
There is no other life
That I would rather lead
Than walking with You,
It’s where I’m meant to be.
No longer searching
For what the world cannot give:
I have decided.
That as for me, I will serve the Lord.
It’s His name written on my heart.
As for me, I will love the Lord
All the days of my life.
All the days of my life.
As for me, I will serve (love) You.
As for me, oh.
That as for me…
