I was walking through the house, it was quiet as a mouse 'til I glanced down at my feet
Then I giggled all alone 'cause my sock had a hole and somehow it was so funny to me
But I could laugh that night 'cause my burden was light
That's when I knew you had set me free
I don't ever want to be far from you again
I don't ever want to be far from you again
There is nothing I would take for joy like this
And I don't ever want to be far from you again
I remember all the years I awoke to fear at the dawn of each new day
With my eyes still closed fiery darts were thrown and I could not find an escape
But then you sent your truth and I believed you
And now I wake up singing praise
I don't ever want to be far from you again
I don't ever want to be far from you again
There is nothing I would take for joy like this
And I don't ever want to be far from you again
Oh oh oh
You are the shepherd who goes looking for his sheep
So you called out my name and when you finally found me
Oh you said I'm gonna hold you so I rode back on your shoulders
And I heard you singing
I don't ever want to be far from you again
I don't ever want to be far from you again
There is nothing I would take for joy like this
And I don't ever want to be far from you again
I don't ever have to be far from you again
