I Wanna Live

There are clouds in the sky tonight

I can see the stars shine bright

The fear holds me so tight

A storm is close at hand

There's a mist on the hilltop ahead

There are tears on the sheets in my bed

There's a light in the distance

My heart is filled with dread

I wanna live, I wanna live forever, I wanna live with You

I wanna live, I wanna live forever, I wanna live with You

I've been up and down and 'round and out

Hearing silence answering my loud shout

As I look on in search of what it's all about

Talking to God on a big white cloud

People that I grew to love were heading for destruction

So I needed for them to know something

Tale of Our Savior, cross to bear

I take to Heaven, let me take you there

I wanna live, I wanna live forever, I wanna live with You

I wanna live, I wanna live forever, I wanna live with You

These old bones have started rattling

All my people are tired, left scattering

All over the earth and wondering

When will I get home?

I need a hand to hold on tightly

I don't take anything You say lightly

Follow the road on the path to love

Take instruction from the One above

I wanna live, I wanna live forever, I wanna live with You

I wanna live, I wanna live forever, I wanna live with You

I call on You, hear my cry

Don't leave me out here to die

Only You can unloose my binds

I have nothing without Your life

You are the bread that feeds and sets me free

You that guides my soul to be next to Thee

That's why I need You

I wanna live, I wanna live forever, I wanna live with You

I wanna live, I wanna live forever, I wanna live with You
