I Want to Be Where You Are

Lyrics:

VERSE 1
How sweet the place where You dwell, O Lord
My soul longs and faints for You
My heart sings out a loud song of joy
For I have known the living God

CHORUS
I want to be where You are, O Lord
I want to be where You are, O Lord
I’d rather have just one day with You
Than be anywhere else

VERSE 1
There’s no good thing that You will withhold
From those who live to follow You
I’d rather be Your servant, O God
Than have the riches of this world

BRIDGE
Those who follow You go from strength to strength
Those who trust in You are filled with joy
Those who follow You go from strength to strength
Those who trust in You are filled with joy
