Verse 1

Hear my prayer, let my cry rise to You

Draw me near as I call upon Your name

Lord, my heart is blighted and withered

God, I seek You, I want to know You

I need You, I need You

My bones burn as I learn to follow


Chorus

You will endure forever and ever

You are enthroned with every power

You spoke the light, and broke the shadow

I was condemned to death when You saved me

Dark was the night, You appeared in glory

Lord have my life, Lord have my life


Verse 2

I lie awake, alone among the ruins

Held within the darkness of the night

All my hope burns away to ashes

But Your glory is appearing

You rebuild me, You rebuild me

So I will rise and worship You


Bridge

You're the foundation 

The heavens and the earth will fade

While You remain

Your years won't end, Lord

And we will be with You, in Your light

In Your presence


Outro Chorus

From age to age, let it be written

Those not yet made may declare He's risen

Oh praise the Lord,    oh praise the Lord

Nations will know the Name of Jesus

Kings on the earth will revere His glory

Lord have it all,    Lord have it all
