I Want To Be Where You Are Lyrics
Don Moen
Lyrics
I just want to be where You are
Dwelling daily in Your presence
I don't want to worship from afar
Draw me near to where You are
I just want to be where You are
In Your dwelling place forever
Take me to the place where You are
I just want to be with You
I want to be where You are
Dwelling in Your presence
Feasting at Your table
And surrounded by Your glory
In Your presence
That's where I always want to be
I just want to be
I just want to be with You
I just want to be where You are
Dwelling daily in Your presence
I don't want to worship from afar
Draw me near to where You are
O my God You are my strength and my song
And when I'm in Your presence
Though I'm weak, You're always strong
I just want to be where You are
In Your dwelling place forever
In Your dwelling place forever
Take me to the place where You are
'Cause I just want to be
I just want to be with You
I just want to be
I just want to be with You
