Your love comes with the deepest devotion
It won't change like the shifting of sands
Because You've loved me since time began
In Your love I have nothing to fear
Your love shifts the atmosphere
Lift me up, I want to see what You see
So what is it You want?
What do You want from me?
So what is it You want?
What do You want from me?
'Cause if You ask me, it seems
You're asking for everything
You want everything
Take it all, take it all
Now take all that I am
Take it all, take it all
Every dream that I've had
Take it all, take it all
Because I'm overwhelmed
