Not Once

Look I’ve traveled many roads in my lifetime

And I’ve been many places around this world

But not once have I discovered a place better

Than the presence of the King of kings

I’ve seen the beauty of an Ugandan safari

The bright blues of the seas in the Philippines

Seen the most incredible sunset in Kenya

Been to the Temple Mount in Israel

But nothing can compare to this right here

When it’s just me and God nobody else

Indescribable peace and immense joy

Blessings upon blessings grace upon grace

I’ve seen turtles and fish swimming around me

Watched dolphins and whales jump in the air

Held a monkey, snake, and macaw in my arms

Experienced beauty greenery and flowers

But nothing can compare to a moment like this

Sitting side by side with my Savior talking

Having inconceivable love poured over me

For a God who stays and never runs away
