lyrics
Verse 1
Dear God, grant me permission to speak
Free from the boundaries I keep
And the pride that entangles my heart
Dear God, there's something not right with my soul
And it might just be that I feel
And urgent need to let you know
Chorus
All I need is to see
All I need is a clear view of you
Verse 2
Dear God, the last thing that I want these prayers to be
Is merely an infantile plea
Asking You for more things
Dear God, I am undone by the way
Your justice is like the great deep
As I look at the state of the world
Chorus
All I need is to see
All I need is to see you here
Dear God, grant me permission to speak
Free from the boundaries I keep
And the pride that entangles my heart
Dear God, there's something not right with my soul
And it might just be that I feel
And urgent need to let you know
Chorus
All I need is to see
All I need is a clear view of you
Verse 2
Dear God, the last thing that I want these prayers to be
Is merely an infantile plea
Asking You for more things
Dear God, I am undone by the way
Your justice is like the great deep
As I look at the state of the world
Chorus
All I need is to see
All I need is to see you here
