Lyrics Israel Houghton

Israel Houghton

Don’t Want to Leave / I Still Love You

Don't want to leave this holy place

Don't want to miss the smile on Your face

Right where You are I long to be

Safe in Your arms with You telling me

Telling me that everything will be all right

And You see every tear (I cry)

Down on my bended knee

Lord I don't want to leave this holy place, this holy place

Down on bended knee Lord I don't want to leave

All that You have for me I receive

Heal my infirmity

And you restored every shattered dream

You're the song when I cannot sing

You're the words when I cannot speak

Comforter in the night

Help in my troubled times

You encourage me tenderly

That is why I don't want to leave

Down on my bended knee Lord I don't want to leave

All that You have for me Lord I receive

Heal me, restore me

Song when I cannot sing, cannot speak

You are my Comforter in the night

This holy place [x4]

And I have seen your tears

And I know your fears

But I still love you

So in this quiet time

Once again I'll remind you

That I still love you

Doesn't matter what you've done

Or if you're hiding

Doesn't matter if you run

My light's still shining

And I've carved you with my hands

I understand why you would question me

The uncertainty

But I still love [x3] you...I still love [x2] I love you
