All I long for, all I hope for
Is found in You
In Your presence, in Your glory
I am found in You
Hold me in Your arms forever
Never let me go
This one thing that I seek
To dwell in Your house
All the days of my life with You
Let me stay here with You
In Your presence I’ll live
In Your presence I’ll live with You
Open heaven, open heaven, open heaven
We cry out for more of You
