Because of You

It is all because of You!
Because you are the glorious One on High!
The bright and morning star!
Your radiant glory shining,
illuminating our very hearts!
The place You choose to dwell
In the very ones that You redeemed!

You are the source of perfect love
And peace much deeper than the sea
Your mercy for us never failing
Your truth a standard for our soul
A banner raised on high, Your Name
Its fragrance fills the earth with glory

In you, our guilt and shame so quickly pass away
Replaced by the treasure of Your boundless love
In life eternal to rejoice ever in Your presence
For where You are we ever want to be
Where neither death, nor sin,
nor pain have ever entered!

For now we wait in hope, that Day to be revealed
When You return in glory, the sky full of Your splendor
The wicked flee but we will look above
For our fear of You is reverential awe
And we embrace Your return in anxious expectation
