You see me for who I am and yet You draw me in
You know of all my crimes and say You want me still
Oh, what a love, the love I found in You
Where could I run from this love
There’s nowhere You won’t find me
Like the dark of night can’t hide from morning light
Oh, so amazing, the love I found in You
I’m living for this love that found me at the cross
And nothing in this world can steal me from Your heart
This is my desire: consume me life a fire
‘Cos Your love takes me higher
Consume me like a fire
Who will separate us from Messiah’s love
Nothing ever could, neither death nor life
Fear is overcome by His perfect love
God has sent His son to make a way, He made a way
