Planetshakers Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And washes over me
Your grace it draws me in
So I can live for You
Jesus You died for me
So I will live for You my God
For the cause of the Cross
And I won't try to ignore
That Your heart's cry is the lost
And I will go if You say go
And I will never give up
I will lay down my life
Because You laid down Your life
To set me free
Your love washes over
Over, over and over
