Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

King of glory come
I surrender all
Hear my sinful soul
I love You Lord, I love You Lord

King of Heaven come
Let Your presence fall
You're saving, You're strong
I love You Lord, I love You Lord

Jesus, all my heart belongs, to You
Jesus, every heartbeat longs, for You

Oh lover of my soul
Pull me in Your arms forever
It's You and You alone
Burning in my heart
Oh lover of my soul

You're my one true love
Every breath is Yours
Hear my greatest song
I love You Lord, I love You Lord

Jesus, all my heart belongs, to You
Jesus, every heartbeat longs, for You

Oh lover of my soul
Pull me in Your arms forever
It's You and You alone
Burning in my heart
Oh lover of my soul
Keep me in Your arms forever
Oh lover of my soul
I am forever Yours

Fall in this place
Fall in this place
Fall in this place
Fall in this place

Fall in this place (King of glory come)
Fall in this place (King of glory come)
Fall in this place (King of glory come)
Fall in this place

Oh lover of my soul
Pull me in Your arms forever
It's You and You alone
Burning in my heart (my heart, my heart, my heart)
Oh lover of my soul (lover of my soul)
Keep me in Your arms forever
Oh lover of my soul (lover of my soul)
I am forever Yours (I am forever Yours, forever Yours)

My proposal for a singable Swedish translation:

Jesus, du som älskar mig
Min synd förtärs när jag är nära dig
Jesus, jag vill att du vet
att jag vill följa dig hela mitt liv

För det finns ingen annan som är lik dig
Skapelsen och allt som finns det tillhör dig
Du är alfa och omega, och du älskar mig
och jag får va' en evighet med dig.

Det handlar om dig, Jesus
Allt är för dig, för din härlighet och nåd.
Det är inte om mig, och det sker inte på mitt sätt
Bara du är Gud, jag börjer mig... till din väg

Essa é umas das canções mais sinceras e profundas que já ouvi. Medito nessa letra constantemente. É tudo sobre Jesus, não sobre nós!
Que Deus abençoe o ministério da Kari! ❤️

When things get dark for me, I always turn to Jesus and pray, and I pray for forgiveness, and the ability to forgive others and let the past flow away to distant shores so I can finally get on with my life. I'm going back to school soon, and it's really my last chance to steer my life in the right direction, I think I'll be doing allot of praying and soul searching soon. Thank you Jesus, you're the one immovable object who will never let me fall into darkness as long as I have faith. I surrender

Lord Jesus, thank you that you are the Father's second chance for us all! Lord, touch Jason wherever he is in his life now! May Jason have a real and tangible encounter with you. May Jason know just how much you and our heavenly Father love him, a love so deep! Thank you for second chances! Thank you for second chance opportunities! Thank you for your overwhelming grace, unmerited favor, and indescribable mercies!
Lord Jesus, touch Jason today with clear direction to your calling in his life. May your fresh oil of gladness and joy be poured on him now. May your healing balm go into every area of Jason's life. And may the burning fire of holiness consume anything of the past that would seek to hinder Jason. Lord, I bless Jason as a man of God to not only rise up in a new and fresh awakening in who he is in you but in the power of your Holy Spirit to turn to others and give what is being given to him now. To your Glory and to the Glory of the Father and to the Glory of you Holy Spirit! I pray this in the mighty name of Christ Jesus! Amen

THANK YOU LORD!! I cry, as i think of all the people that have loved God and do love God and are saved by the almighty lord. I'M SORRY LORD!! I cry as i think of all the things i could have done and all of the people that i should have reached out to or the ones i should reach out to now. HELP THEM LORD!! I beg when i think of those who are ignorant and will not be saved, many of which are my friends. HELP ME LORD!! I pray, when all seems lost and i know that i can't control what is ahead!

@susannpurificato1863

May God Bless you, Jessica! Christ Jesus and Our Heavenly Father love you greatly! His precious Holy Spirit loves you and is with you now! Give him everything, give him your all. And lay it at the feet of Christ Jesus. His calling over your life has never left you because He has never left you.
Precious Lord Jesus open Jessica's eyes to the deep love you have for her now. A wonderful love that cannot be quenched as it is written in your Holy Word. May she know your presence to bind up the broken places in her life and to heal and to restore to your glory and the glory of our wonderful Father! In your uncomparable name, in Chirst Jesus name, Amen!
