All I Want Is You
Planetshakers Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I never knew that I could feel this kind of grace.
The way You show me that Your blood has washed me clean,
Could never be erased; it lives inside of me.
Take me to that secret place,
Where I can only see Your Face,
And nothing else will ever feel this way.
The things I've done that I can't change,
It's only by the Power of Your name.
I stand here in this place,
See the Glory on Your Face,
Taken by the wonder of Your name.
I'm desperate for Your touch,
Never needed it so much,
Cause all I want is You.
When all the things around me have fallen to the ground
I'm always thankful for the love in You I've found.
