You will never leave
Your love sustaining me
Before I even knew
What love was
You've brought me here to rest
And given me space to breathe
So I'll stay still until
It sinks in
And I will lean back in the loving arms
Of a beautiful Father
Breathe deep and know that He is good
He's a love like no other
You will never leave
Your love sustaining me
Before I even knew
What love was
You've brought me here to rest
And given me space to breathe
So I'll stand still until
It sinks in
And I will lean back in the loving arms
Of a beautiful Father (It's who You are, who You are)
Breathe deep and know that He is good
He's a love like no other
I will lean back in the loving arms
Of my beautiful Father (It's who You are, who You are)
Breathe deep and know that He is good
He's a love like no other
And now I can see Your love is better
Than all the others that I've seen
I'm breathing deep, of all Your goodness
Your loving-kindness to me
Now I can see Your love is better
Than all the others that I've seen
And I'm breathing deep, of all Your goodness
Your loving-kindness to me
Now I can see Your love is better
Than all the others that I've seen
I'm breathing deep, of all Your goodness
Your loving-kindness to me
