[Verse 1]
In the glow of Your endless grace,
I find my shield, my guiding star.
Though shadows creep and storms arise,
No trembling heart, no distant scar.
Enemies whisper, plotting low,
But in Your strength, they fade away.
Armies march, yet peace I know,
For You are dawn that breaks the day.
[Chorus]
Oh, let me linger in Your holy place,
To behold Your wonder, feel Your embrace.
Hide me in Your refuge when trials come near,
Lift me high on wings, cast out every fear.
With joyful songs, my spirit will rise,
Praising Your name under endless skies.
In Your light, I am whole, I am free,
Forever seeking the face I long to see.
[Verse 2]
One desire burns within my soul,
To rest eternally in Your sacred home.
Gaze upon Your splendor, pure and bright,
Inquire in Your halls through day and night.
When troubles rage and winds assail,
You shelter me in Your hidden veil.
Exalted above the fray I stand,
Offering thanks with an open hand.
[Chorus]
Oh, let me linger in Your holy place,
To behold Your wonder, feel Your embrace.
Hide me in Your refuge when trials come near,
Lift me high on wings, cast out every fear.
With joyful songs, my spirit will rise,
Praising Your name under endless skies.
In Your light, I am whole, I am free,
Forever seeking the face I long to see.
[Bridge]
Hear my cry, O merciful One,
Turn not away, be my faithful sun.
Even if kin and kindred depart,
You welcome me, heal my weary heart.
Guide my steps on the path that’s true,
Against the lies that foes pursue.
I trust I’ll witness Your kindness here,
In this life, Your goodness clear.
[Final Chorus]
Oh, let me linger in Your holy place,
To behold Your wonder, feel Your embrace.
Hide me in Your refuge when trials come near,
Lift me high on wings, cast out every fear.
With joyful songs, my spirit will rise,
Praising Your name under endless skies.
In Your light, I am whole, I am free,
Forever seeking the face I long to see.
[Outro]
Be strong, hold fast, and wait upon the King,
For in His time, all blessings He will bring.
