Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Beautiful Lord, wonderful savior
I know for sure, all of my days are held in Your hands
Crafted into Your perfect plan

You gently call me, into Your presence
Guiding me by, Your Holy Spirit
Teach me dear Lord
To live all of my life through Your eyes

I'm captured by, Your Holy calling
Set me apart
I know You're drawing me to Yourself
Lead me Lord I pray

Take me, and mold me
Use me, fill me
I give my life to the Potter's hands
Hold me, You guide me
Lead me, walk beside me
I give my life to the Potter's hand

You gently call me, into Your presence
Guiding me by, Your Holy Spirit
Teach me dear Lord
To live all of my life through Your eyes

I'm captured by, Your Holy calling
Set me apart
I know You're drawing me to Yourself
Lead me Lord I pray

Take me, and mold me
Use me, fill me
I give my life to my Potter's hands
Hold me, You guide me
Lead me, walk beside me
I give my life to my Potter's hand

Take me, and mold me
Use me, fill me
I give my life to my Potter's hands
Hold me, You guide me
Lead me, walk beside me
I give my life to my Potter's hand

Give Him everything
Give Him everything
Right now, give Him everything
Everything
Give Him everything




Lord, I give it all
To You

I was about to die from an overdose in my apartment in Miami all alone after so many different drugs…I went to grab my phone and I couldn’t even see what I pressed and out of no where YouTube started and this song played. My heart was beating out of my chest and then the room turned white and I felt at peace. My heart slowed down and I survived. Jesus Christ is real people. He saved my life.
