I want to stand before the king
Join in the song that heaven sings
I want to hold the hand that holds the world
I want to know the mystery
Reach out and touch the majesty
I want to hold the hand that holds the world

No greater love, Could be bestowed
That you would name us as your own
Your daughters sing, Yours sons rejoice
They gather here before your throne

You are, You are
The author of creation
We are, the children of your heart
You are, You are
The light of all the heavens
We rise to worship all you are.
