Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Speak to me now
God I am listening to Your heart
Here in this place
Quiet surrender
Seek You now

With all of my heart
I come
Lay it all down

'Cause I feel Your love
Washing over me
I give You my all
Sweet surrender
I'll come
Feel the way to Your Holy place
I lift up my hands
Lord I give to You
All that I am
Sweet surrender
I'll worship
I will worship You, my Lord

Speak to me now
God I am listening to Your heart
Here in this place
Quiet surrender
Seek You now

With all of my heart
I come
Lay it all down

I feel Your love
Washing over me
I give You my all
Sweet surrender
I'll come
Feel the way to Your Holy place
I lift up my hands
Lord I give to You
All that I am
Sweet surrender
I'll worship
I will worship You, my Lord

My Lord
My Lord

All I want is
All I need is You

And all I want is
All I need is You
