We dwell in thee Oh God br As the fish dwells in the sea br We find our place in you br As a lock is to a key br br To walk outside your presence br Is like a bird that has no wings br This bird that cannot fly br Is the bird that cannot sing br br When we have left our first love br Then we stand outside the door br When this lion opens up its mouth br This lion finds it cannot roar br br To dwell in any other place br Than deep within His heart br Is to stand upon the platform br And watch the train depart br br Oh Lord we find our place in you br As the bird soars in the sky br If our place is not in you br Then we must surely die br br Can a fish live out of water? br Can the wingless bird begin to fly? br Could a flower bloom in perpetual darkness? br Or would the flower surely die? br br You are the wings that give us flight br You are the Sun that ends the night br You are the waters of the deep br You are the harvest that we reap br br I am your exceeding great reward br Seek me with all your heart br Dwell with Me, your King, your Lord br And we shall never be apartbr br Frank McElenybr br
