Reflect:

• As you listen to this song, experience the tension of this moment.

• Jesus gave himself willingly to be arrested and crucified. Jesus created a way for intimate and lasting relationship now and forever. Jesus was the image of God’s loving pursuit of you and me. Yet, in the midst of this pursuit, Jesus’ closest friends run away and abandon him.

• Feel the pain of this moment. How might you identify with those fleeing on the right side of the image?

Song Lyrics:

[Verse 1]

Strip everything away
Till all I have is You
Come undo the veil
Till all I see is You

[Pre-Chorus]
I will pursue You
I will pursue Your presence
I will pursue You
I will pursue Your presence

[Chorus]
Open my eyes
Search me inside
I can't live without Your presence
I can't live without Your presence

[Verse 2]
I'm pressing into You
So do not pass me by
I'm breaking through the boundaries
Oh, I will not be denied

[Pre-Chorus]
For I will
I will pursue You
I will pursue Your presence, oh God
I will pursue You
I will pursue Your presence

[Chorus]
Open my eyes
Search me inside
'Cause I can't live without Your presence
I can't live without Your presence
So open my eyes
Search me inside
'Cause I can't live without Your presence
I can't live without Your presence

[Tag]
Oh, I can't live without Your presence
I can't live without Your presence

[Interlude]
Mm-mmm, mm-mm-mm-mm

[Outro]
Your presence
Is all we want, Jesus
Your presence
Is all we want, Jesus
Your presence
Is all we want, Jesus
Your presence
Is all we want, Jesus
Your presence
Is all we want, Jesus
