Far better is to be with You,
Even for a day,
Than to live a thousand years,
And to never see,
One glimpse of Your face,
As for me I want to be,
Close to You,
All my days I want to live,
In Your house,
So take me,
Make Your home in my heart,
Wash away these guilty stains,
Make me like You are,
Surround me,
Closer than the air that I breathe,
Because You have loved me,
I want to be,
A friend of God
