{Hey, ay, ay, ay

Hey, ey, ey, ey

Ey, ey, ey, ey, ey, ey, ey} [x3]


[Verse 1]

This world is not my home

I am just passing through

Earthly treasure soon will fail

But I found my hope

You are the one I want

You are the one I need

This world can have it all

It can take everything ?

But give me Jesus ? say


[Chorus]

Give me Jesus

Give me Jesus

The one who broke these chains

And took away my shame

There is only one for me ?

Hey, ey, ey, ey
