"VIP" lyrics

I've cherished Bible stories
Tales of the pain and glory
But I've got a testimony
Not just what others told me You are
I've heard Your voice
I've felt Your loving kindness
Tasted and seen Your goodness
Been kissed by Your holy presence
I've come to know You in the waiting
I've seen Your face

I don't need a front row seat
Might not be VIP
I have the nearness of the Father
And He's right here with me
I don't need a front row seat
Might not be VIP
I have the nearness of the Father
And He's right here with me

You're not impressed by stages
You don't prefer the famous
So no matter what my name is
This love, it never changes for me
You stay the same

I don't need a front row seat
Might not be VIP
I have the nearness of the Father
And He's right here with me
I don't need a front row seat
Might not be VIP
I have the nearness of the Father
And He's right here with me
Here we are sitting at His feet
Close enough that we can hear Him speak
Close enough that we can feel Him breathe

Not just another face in the crowd
More than another voice crying aloud
You always hear me because I'm Your child
Abba
You sent Your son from His seat on the throne
Laid down His life for the lost and alone
No, we don't deserve all the things that You've done
Jesus

You gave up Your front row seat
So I could be VIP
So I could be nearer to the Father
Sitting at Your feet
