Verse 1:
Here I am waiting
Abide in me I pray
Here I am longing for You
Hide me in Your love
Bring me to my knees
May I know Jesus more and more
Chorus:
Come live in me all my life
Take over
Come breathe in me
I will rise on eagle’s wings
Come live in me all my life
Take over
Come breathe in me
I will rise on eagle’s wings
