lyrics

I've been occupying my head
with thoughts of where I am
and what I am to do

I've been occupying my heart
with what they do and what they are
Thinking of me
O Lord, let me see

Outside of me is a world
is a universe spinning in space
Your love on display for a
miracle play I can't see

And though I reject you and set you
back far from the throne of my heart
You call me a daughter
And you, I call you my King

My king, you rule in majesty
Honor and glory, carefully forethinking
Unravelling all history
Higher than my ways
Greater than my thoughts
Mightier in ten, in ten thousand ways
God of all life, God of all breath, God of all days

Fathomless love in the depths of your heart
You would destroy yourself for the smallness of us
If you did that for us, then with us
Let the angels rejoice

What do I have that I have not been given?
What do I do when its you who were driven?
How can I save when its you who were risen?
