If I Was A Bird

Verse 1

This is where I wanna be, right inside Your house
This is where I wanna be, right inside Your house
If I was a bird, I would make my nest
In the rafters of Your sanctuary
I, I don’t ever wanna fly away
No I, I don’t ever wanna fly away

Verse 2

I know where I belong, right here by Your side
I know where I belong, right here by Your side
To open fields and peaceful streams
I know that You are leading me
And I, I don’t ever wanna run away
No I, I don’t ever wanna run away
No I, I don’t ever wanna run away
No I, I don’t ever wanna run away
