Holy God

O-Oh, Father

O-O-Oh, My God

I raise my eyes to look upon You

            And I see

You’re already looking at me;

O-Oh, Father

O-O-Oh, My God

I hold up my hands to take Yours in mine

            And I find

You’ve been holding my hands all along;

O-Oh, Father

O-O-Oh, My God

I set my feet to walk with You

            And I sense

You’ve been walking with me everyday;

O-O-Oh, Holy God, Holy God, Holy God

The closer I get to You,

O-O-Oh, Holy God, Holy God, Holy God

The closer I want to be

O-Oh, Father

O-O-Oh, My God

I lift up my thoughts to be filled with You

            And I learn

You’ve filled Your thoughts with me all my life;

O-Oh, Father

O-O-Oh, My God

I open my mouth to call on Your name

            And I hear

You’ve been calling my name from the start;

O-Oh, Father

O-O-Oh, My God

I give my heart to love only You

            And I know

You loved me in Your heart before time;

O-O-Oh, Holy God, Holy God, Holy God

The closer I get to You,

O-O-Oh, Holy God, Holy God, Holy God

The closer I want to be
