Lyrics
VERSE: What is this ecstasy,
this great delight,
this joy You give to me?
Exhiliration fills up my soul,
I overflow with Your love!
For I've tasted and known my heart's true love,
I've found my one desire.
The love of Christ pours over me,
fills me with holy fire!
CHORUS: So I will fight with a warrior's heart,
All from love of my King!
To the One who gave His life for me,
I give my everything.
(chorus)
(Repeat Verse and Chorus)
BRIDGE: And the scars I suffer will be my badge of pride
that my King should find me worthy of His name.
And the wounds I carry I carry high
For not a one will have been in vain!
(repeat CHORUS)
