I'm Still Yours
Kutless Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

If You washed away my vanity
If You took away my words
If all my world was swept away
Would You be enough for me?
Would my beating heart still sing?

If I lost it all
Would my hands stay lifted

To the God who gives and takes away

If You take it all
This life You've given
Still my heart will sing to You

When my life is not what I expected
The plans I made have failed
When there's nothing left to steal me away
Will You be enough for me?
Will my broken heart still sing?

If I lost it all
Would my hands stay lifted
To the God who gives
And takes away

If You take it all
This life You've given
Still my heart
Will sing to You

Even if You take it all away
You'll never let me go
Take it all away
But I still know

That I'm Yours
I'm still Yours

Oh, I'm Yours

I'm still Yours
I'm still Yours
