I want to cry out Your name

scream it from the mountaintops

shout it out so the whole world can hear

I want to sing praise of You

sing of Your tender mercies

sing of Your everlasting love for us

I want to dance until sundown

dance until my feet ache

dance until I'm out of breath and fall into Your arms

I want to live a life giving evidence of Your grace and forgiveness

laugh because Your joy is my strength

and love because You first loved me
