Stand in Awe

Let earthly passions die

Lord, let my spirit boil

As I pursue one deep, high,

Holy, happy goal...

Lord, to intimately know You

To draw close to you and show you

I will cling to You with all my might

Yet all knowledge You transcend

From beginning to the end

I can never comprehend your depths and heights

Let us draw near to the One who draws

Us to Himself so we can stand in awe

Of how close we can come if we seek God's face

For Jesus abides in our hearts by Grace.

The blood of Jesus has been given

So that your sins are forever forgiven

Now the veil of separation has been torn

Now the holiness of God may fill you

It will not consume you but thrill you.

The transcendent one in a babe is born!

Bridge:

With coals of knowledge pack our hearts

For all time Lord has perfected

The sanctified and set apart

Now draw near unto the altar Christ erected...

Let us draw near to the one who draws

Us to Himself so we can stand in awe

Of how close we can come if we seek God's face

For Jesus abides in our hearts by Grace.
