Twisting, turning,
I beat my fist against my chest,
Stretching, burning,
I rage against the ugliness,
Shake me, break me,
Make me into something free,
Make me complete, ‘cause this is where I want to be.
I wanna be where he abounds,
I wanna be where he abounds.
Bleeding, burning,
We’re sharing in your death daily,
We choose to learn,
We set no stones for stumbling,
Shake me, break me,
Make me into something free,
Make me complete for you.
I wanna be where he abounds,
I wanna be where he abounds.
I wanna be where he abounds, (I wanna show you, I wanna know you, I wanna show how much I care)
I wanna be where he abounds. (I wanna show you, I wanna know you, I wanna show how much I care)
Searching for truth,
Searching for you,
Searching for truth,
Searching for you.
Wash me away,
I wanna be where he abounds,
Wash me away,
I wanna be where he abounds, (I wanna show you, I wanna know you, I wanna show how much I care)
I wanna be where he abounds. (I wanna show you, I wanna know you, I wanna show how much I care)
