Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

I lay down my life before You Lord
Stand here in wonder of Your Love
Lord I live for You alone
You're worthy of all praise

All of Heaven shouts Your Name
All the earth will bring You praise
With my life I honour You

You're worthy of all praise

You're all I want
You're all I need
My one desire

My hope is found in You
Everything I need is at Your feet
My life I lay it down, an offering
I'm living for the glory of Your Name

You're all I need
You're all I need

You're all I need
Jesus
