Shammah – Maverick City Music Lyrics

I’m gonna stay right here
Drink from the well awhile
Can’t be disappointed
You always satisfy
I’ll live my life here in Your presence

No need to rush in here
I lay down the cares of life
Won’t miss this appointment
You’re worth all my time
I’ll spend my life here in Your presence

I’ll live my life here in Your presence, oh
I’ll live my life here in Your presence, Jehovah Shammah
I’ll live my life here in Your presence
I will dwell here as You dwell here, oh

No need to rush in here
I lay down the cares of life
Won’t miss this appointment
You’re worth all my time
I’ll spend my life here in Your presence
That’s where I wanna be, yeah

I’ll live my life here in Your presence, oh
Oh, Jesus, You’re where I wanna be, Lord
Oh, I’ll live my life here in Your presence, Jehovah Shammah
Right here in Your presence for all of my days, I will
I’ll live my life here in Your presence
We will dwell here
I will dwell here as You dwell here
As You dwell here

Oh, Jesus
Oh, Jesus, we wanna dwell with You
We wanna dwell with You
We wanna dwell with You, yeah
So, we declare this, we say

If I am Your temple

With total abandon
I gladly bow down
I surrender

With total abandon
With total abandon

And this is Your house
If this is Your house
Lord, have Your way
Lord, have Your way with me inside and out
With total abandon
With total abandon
I gladly bow
I gladly bow down

I lay it at Your feet, God

Oh, I surrender all

Yes, I surrender all
I surrender
Oh, I surrender all
I surrender

Oh Lord, so I’ll live my life here in Your presence
Oh, say, I’ll live my life here in Your presence, Jehovah Shammah
Make this broken mess, make it Your better for me

That’s where I wanna be, that’s where I wanna be
That’s where I need to be, that’s where I need to be
That’s where I need to be, that’s where I need to be
That’s where I need to be
Better is one day in Your course
Right here in Your presence
Better is one day in Your course
Than thousands elsewhere
Better is one day in Your course
Than thousands elsewhere
Better is one day in Your house
Than thousands elsewhere
I’d rather be with You, I’d rather be with You
I’d rather be with You, I’d rather be with You
I’d rather be with You, I’d rather be here

I’ll live my life here in Your presence, oh
I will dwell here as You dwell here

I will dwell here as You dwell here
As You dwell, wherever You are is my home
I will dwell here as You dwell here
