All The Way
Kevin Downswell Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

In silence
I seek You
Waiting here Lord
Just to hear You
Won't move without You
So lost without You
There's only one thing that my heart's really after
I won't stop
Until I have You
Twenty-four hours a day is not enough
(Oh, oh-oh)
What can I do
I'm hopeless without You Lord
Everything that's in me and my heart cries out
Jesus all the way
To have You
Is everything
To have everything without You
Is nothing
I can't deny
You're the center of my life
I can't deny
Gonna serve You 'til I die
There's only one thing that my heart's really after
I won't stop
Until I have You
Twenty-four hours a day is not enough
(Oh, oh-oh)
What can I do
I'm hopeless without You Lord
Everything that's in me and my heart cries out
Jesus all the way
Father
All the things we think are important
Lose their shine
When
Compared to You
Others brag and boast about
Who they are
Until
You walk in the room
If I seek You today for direction
I'm seeking You tomorrow again
Because
I just don't know
But You do
I can't see my way
But You do
I don't have enough strength
But You do
Jesus
Thank You for Your grace to follow You
This fire inside just won't go out
Face on the floor with my hands stretched out
We're nothing
God You're our everything
Like a desert dry without the rain
We need You now more than anything
We're nothing
God You're our everything
Twenty-four hours a day is not enough
(Oh, oh-oh)
What can I do
I'm hopeless without You Lord




Everything that's in me and my heart cries out
Jesus all the way
