I understand what I've been told
Your what I've heard but barely known
Like a man who's mastered every tongue
But has never left his home

My hungry heart is discontent
With petty thought and argument
So they can keep their sermonettes
I want the Christ not just his silhouette
Ohh

Take me above the sun, moon and stars
There's so much more I can see
If You would just carry me
Up to the place where You are
Take me, My Love, escape with my heart
In chasing You
I will run right past the radiant sun
Until I find myself right where You are
Right where You are

I want to board the northbound train
And go right up to heaven's gate
You said to seek and I will find
Well here I come, no turning round this time

I want to taste the height and depth
And live inside Your length and breadth
And comprehend with all the saints
As why Your love has never left

Take me above the sun, moon and stars
There's so much more I can see
If You would just carry me
Up to the place where You are
Take me, My Love, escape with my heart
In chasing You
I will run right past the radiant sun
Until I find myself right where You are

I'm not an orphan, I'm a runaway
You've always been there for me
So if You're willing to receive a stray
I will gladly run into Your arms
Its exactly where I always want to be

Take me above the sun, moon and stars
There's so much more I can see
If You would just carry me
Up to the place where You are
Take me My Love, escape with my heart
In chasing You
I will run right past the radiant sun
Until I find myself right, oh, where You are
Right where You are
Oh, right where You are
Oh, yeah
