[Intro]
Oh-oh-oh (Hmm, mm)
Oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh, oh-oh
Oh-oh, oh-oh
Oh-oh
[Verse 1]
I wanna hear You say, "Well done"
I wanna be welcomed in
I wanna feel Your love like sunshine on my resurrected skin
[Pre-Chorus]
I wanna hear the music play
I wanna hear the trumpets sound
I wanna hear You call my name and watch my feet lift off the ground
[Chorus]
I will run, oh, and I won't quit
Chasing Your heart, just like David did
I'll come runnin' through the gates, lookin' to Your face
Oh, I can hardly wait
Until You carry my soul, carry my soul away
[Hook]
(Oh-oh-oh)
(Oh-oh-oh)
(Oh-oh-oh)
(Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh)
[Verse 2]
When everything is said and done
And death has met its end
I wanna hear You call me, "Son"
Be counted as a faithful friend
[Pre-Chorus]
I wanna see Your rise like fire
I wanna see the scars that bled
Oh, won't You take me higher
The place where angels fear to tread?
[Chorus]
And I will run, Lord, and I won't quit
Chasing Your heart, just like David did
And I'll come running through the gates, lookin' to Your face
Oh, I can hardly wait
Until You carry my soul, carry my soul away
[Bridge]
And I will keep my lamplight burning in the night
I'll be waiting here for You
Watching for all Your signs
If I may be so bold to ask You
Would You lend Your ear to me?
"Oh, Lord, come quickly"
[Hook]
Hmm, mm, oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
Oh, oh-oh-oh
[Chorus]
And I will run, Lord, and I won't quit
Chasing Your heart, just like David did
And I'll come running through the gates, lookin' to Your face
Oh, I can hardly wait
Until You carry my soul, carry my soul away
Until You carry my soul, carry my soul away (Oh-ooh)
[Outro]
Oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh (Oh-oh-oh)
Oh-oh-oh-oh
Carry my soul (Oh-oh-oh)
Oh-oh-oh
Carry my soul (Oh-oh-oh)
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
