Lyrics
Father Take The Highest Place VERSE ONE (John): Father take the highest place, First thing in the morning I will sing Your praise. Glory to You Lord, my voice I will raise, Oh how I long to see Your face. Heaven and earth they sing holy, holy, holy, Burning in my heart, I have got to tell Your story. Abundant life is what You give to us, So to You I bow, in You I put my trust. PRE-CHORUS (John): This world turns one way; I will turn to You, And follow Your lead as a servant, I’ve got to do. If the world won’t praise you, I’ll do it alone, Cause only to You Lord, my heart belongs. CHORUS (John): All creation knows just who You are, All creation surrounds You like a star. I lift my hands in Your sanctuary, And bless you, Lord, let the voices carry. VERSE TWO (Richard): No stone will take my place before Your throne, To You, LORD, alone my praise belongs. If the world won’t praise You, I’ll do it alone, Cause only to You, LORD, my heart belongs. I’ll honour Your name till Thy kingdom come, I’ll sing Your praise till the heavens pour. If the world won’t praise You, I’ll do it alone, Cause only to You, LORD, my heart belongs. *Pre-Chorus + Chorus* BRIDGE (Richard): Lord, You are my life, Jesus, please don’t let go. You are the center of it all, Oh yeah, You’re my peace and my all. I’ll always run to you, Lord, The only light in the dark. You are the center of it all, Oh yeah, You’re the Truth and the Life. *Pre-Chorus + Chorus* Outro (Richard): Higher, higher, higher stands Your throne, Every knee shall bow before You, Lord. Higher, higher, higher is Thy great throne, Nations shall exalt Your name, O Lord.
