Houston ( /ˈhjuːstən/) (Alibamu: Yosti ) is the largest city in the state of Texas, and the fourth-largest city in the United States. According to the 2010 U.S. Census, the city had a population of 2.1 million people within an area of 656.3 square miles (1,700 km2). Houston is the seat of Harris County and the economic center of Houston–Sugar Land–Baytown, which is the fifth-largest metropolitan area in the United States, with 6.08 million people as of July 1st, 2011.
Houston was founded in 1836 on land near the banks of Buffalo Bayou. It was incorporated as a city on June 5, 1837, and named after then-President of the Republic of Texas—former General Sam Houston—who had commanded at the Battle of San Jacinto, which took place 25 miles (40 km) east of where the city was established. The burgeoning port and railroad industry, combined with oil discovery in 1901, has induced continual surges in the city's population. In the mid-twentieth century, Houston became the home of the Texas Medical Center—the world's largest concentration of healthcare and research institutions—and NASA's Johnson Space Center, where the Mission Control Center is located.

Verse:
Your mercy found me
Upon the broken road
And lifted me beyond my failing
Into your glory
My sin and shamed dissolved
And now forever yours I'll stand
In love never to end
To call your more than Lord
Glorious Friend
Chorus:
So I throw my life
Upon all that you are
'Cause I know you gave it all for me
And when all else fades
My soul will dance with you
Where the love lasts forever
Bridge:
And forever I will sing
Lord Forever I will sing
How you gave your life away
Just to save me
Lord you saved me
Tag:
With you
Where the love lasts forever
I will be with you
Where the love lasts forever
I will sing to you
Where the love lasts forever
I will dance with you
