Verse 1

A sea of glass with crystal sheen
Golden flames and molten streams
Robes of white with glowing crowns
Flashing light on breaking ground
Trembling like a frightened child
I shield my eyes and shut my mouth
Hide my face from all around
When like a blast of trumpet sound

Chorus

The God who dwells
In unapproachable light
Draws me near
The God who dwells
In unapproachable light
Draws me near

Verse 2

How is it I am welcome here
Where angels cry and tread with fear
Maker of all living things
It’s by Your will we have our being
Glory honor power be
Forever Yours eternally
Oh magnify the Holy One
Who was and is and is to come

Chorus

The God who dwells
In unapproachable light
Draws me near
The God who dwells
In unapproachable light
Draws me near

Bridge 1

What a beautiful parallel
How wonderfully unfair
To think that You love me
To know that You care

Refrain

What a beautiful parallel

Bridge 2

I could sit here forever
Here in Your presence
Lord there is nowhere
That I’d rather be
Than right here before You
Lord we adore You
Standing in awe
Of the glory we see

Refrain

Beautiful parallel
