[Verse 1]
I understand what I've been told
You're what I've heard, but barely known
Like a man who's mastered every tongue
But never left his home
My hungry heart is discontent
With petty thought and argument
So they can keep their sermonettes
I want the Christ, not just His silhouette

[Chorus]
Take me above the sun, moon and stars
There's so much more I can see
If You would just carry me
Up to the place where You are
Take me, my love, escape with my heart
In chasing You
I will run right past the radiant sun
Until I find myself right where You are
Right where You are

[Verse 2]
I wanna board the northbound train
And go on up to heaven's gate
You said to seek and I will find
Well, here I come, no turning round this time
I want to taste the height and depth
And live inside Your length and breadth
And comprehend with all the saints
As why Your love has never left, no, no

[Chorus]
Take me above the sun, moon and stars
There's so much more I can see
If You would just carry me
Up to the place where You are
Take me, my love, escape with my heart
In chasing You
I will run right past the radiant sun
Until I find myself right where You are

[Bridge]
I'm not an orphan, I'm a runaway
You've always been there for me
So if You're willing to receive a stray
I will gladly run into Your arms
Its exactly where I always wanna be

[Chorus]
Take me above the sun, moon and stars
There's so much more I can see
If You would just carry me
Up to the place where You are
Take me my love, escape with my heart
In chasing You
I will run right past the radiant sun
Until I find myself right, oh, right where You are
Right where You are
Oh, right where You are
