Lyrics
[Verse 1]
I just looked up today
And realized how far away
I am from where You are
You gave me life worth dyin' for
But between the altar and the door
I bought the lies that promised more
And here I go again
[Verse 2]
Lord, I know I let You down
But somehow I will make You proud
I'll turn this sinking ship around
Make it back to You
Well, all my deeds and my good name
Are just dirty rags that tear and strain
To cover all my guilty stains
That You already washed away
[Verse 3]
'Cause all You've ever wanted, all You've ever wanted
All You've ever wanted was my heart
Freedom's arms are open, my chains have all been broken
Relentless love has called me from the start
And all You wanted was my heart
[Verse 4]
I was chasin' healin' when I'd been made well
I was fightin' battles when You conquered Hell
Livin' free but from a prison cell
Lord, I, I lay it down today
[Verse 5]
So I'll stop livin' off of how I feel
And start standing on Your truth revealed
Jesus is my strength, my shield
And He will never fail me
[Verse 6]
'Cause all You've ever wanted, all You've ever wanted
All You've ever wanted was my heart
Freedom's arms are open, my chains have all been broken
Relentless love has called me from the start
All You wanted was my heart
[Verse 7]
No more chains, I've been set free
No more fightin' battles, You're the one for me
Now in Christ, I stand complete
[Verse 8]
All You've ever wanted, all You've ever wanted
All You've ever wanted was my heart
(All You've ever wanted was my heart)
Freedom's arms are open, my chains have all been broken
Relentless love has called me from the start
And all You wanted was my heart
[Verse 9]
And all You wanted was my heart
(All You've ever wanted was my heart)
And all You wanted was my heart
