Verse 1
This faith, let it burn for You
This fire, consume all I do
Come and purify my heart, oh God
Your face, all I long to see
Your eyes, see the depth of me
I never want to leave this place, oh God
Chorus
I will defend this holy ground with reverence
Nothing familiar to be found in Your presence
Clean hands, pure heart
I will be set apart for You
I will defend this holy ground
Verse 2
You've awakened my song again
Bringing worship as I enter in
Boldly I approach Your throne
Boldly I approach Your throne, Jesus
Chorus
I will defend this holy ground with reverence
Nothing familiar to be found in Your presence
Clean hands, pure heart
I will be set apart for You
I will defend this holy ground
Interlude
I will defend this holy ground, this holy ground
Bridge
Your presence, I never want to leave
Your presence, let nothing come between
So precious, more than anything
Your presence
Your presence, I never want to leave
Your presence, let nothing come between
So precious, more than anything
Your presence
Your presence, I never want to leave
Your presence, let nothing come between
So precious, more than anything
Your presence
Chorus
I will defend this holy ground with reverence
Nothing familiar to be found in Your presence
Clean hands, pure heart

Nothing familiar to be found in Your presence
Clean hands, pure heart
I will be set apart for You
I will defend this holy ground

This holy ground, this holy ground
It's holy because You're holy
It's holy because of Jesus
Mmm, mmm, mmm, mmm
Mmm, mmm, mmm, mmm

Holy, holy, holy
Lord God almighty
Early in the morning
Our song shall rise to Thee
Holy, holy, holy!
Merciful and mighty
God in three persons
Blessed Trinity!

Early in the morning
Our song shall rise to Thee
Holy, holy, holy!
Merciful and mighty
God in three persons
Blessed Trinity!
