Our holy King and we Your holy bride
I’ll join with all the saints
And lift my voice
When I see Your face
Through tears of joy

In a million years
We’ll have just begun
To explore Your heart
And Your boundless love
Singing endless songs of praise
For who You are and what You’ve done
In a million years
We’ll have just begun

The bells will ring
Your banner lifted high
Our holy King and we Your holy bride
I’ll join with all the saints
And lift my voice
When I see Your face
Through tears of joy

So in awe
So amazed
Standing here
Face to face

Let my last breath here
Be my first with You
Where You rob my fear
And You make me new
So whatever comes
Whatever I go through
Let my last breath here
Be my first with You
Oh let my last breath here
Be my first with You

Verse 1:
Wash over me like a tidal wave
Clean out what pulls me to the grave
Nothing left that you don’t love
Take me where your river flows
Heal the desert in my soul
Let it wash over my feet
All I’m asking for is just a drink

I thirst for you

Even as the deer is panting for the stream
Even while my soul is t[G/B]hirsty
I thirst for you

Verse 2:
Spirit of the living God
Would you fall afresh like rain on us
Burst the doors and flood the halls
Into forgotten rooms inside our hearts
And we will all be swept away
In the current of your love and grace
Living water [C/E]flow to me
All I’m asking for is just a drink

Bridge:
One thing I ask and I would seek

To see you there in front of me
With nothing standing in the way

Just me before you unashamed

You’re the well that won’t run dry

All I ask is just one drink
I thirst for you
