Your breath in my breath
The fire deep inside
You listen through my ears
The vision in my eyes
You are closer than, closer than close
You are closer than closer than close
You are closer than, closer than close
You are closer than closer than close

You listen to my prayers
Yet you’re my heart desire

It’s a wonder and it’s a mystery.
It’s still a wonder to many God.
Perhaps Jesus in our worship,
We unravel the mystery that you have hidden in who we are Lord.
For perhaps this is the mystery of our worship.
He has something so great for His children.
And every time they worship Him, every time they fix their gaze on Him.
In their eyes they see a picture of who they truly are
In their eyes they see they see a burning fire
Jesus , such an intimate exchange of identity
Such an intimate exchange of power
Such an intimate glory oh God
That I step into your presence, and you say here I am.
And as I take a look at my father I realize I’m not so broken
I’m not so weak, I’m not so small.
If this is my Father, then there must be something within me that looks like Him.
For a lion gives birth to a lion
Fire gives birth to fire.
The light gives birth to light.
This is worship, the intimate exchange of identity.
