Chris McClarney's 'Waste It All' is a passionate worship song about responding to God's overwhelming love and grace with total surrender. The lyrics describe a person who, once burdened by shame and an unpayable debt, encounters God's mercy and is transformed. In gratitude, they choose to 'waste' everything on Jesus, pouring out their heart like costly perfume, regardless of how it looks to others. The song emphasizes laying down one's life, surrendering fully, and living in response to the sacrificial love of Christ. It captures the joy and freedom found in giving everything back to God.

Covered in shame, hiding my face
I owned a debt I could not pay
Searching in vain to fill my heart's ache
I threw my worth away
When I thought all was lost
You saw me and You came to my defense
This priceless gift You gave
Was not meant for me to hold
I want to waste it all on You
I want to pour my heart's perfume
I don't care if I'm called a fool
I'm wasting it all on You
Lifting my head, holding my face
Wiping my endless tears away
You unlocked my heart, whispering grace
How could I leave this place
When I'm here at Your feet, I can hear You
All the voices fade away
I will spend all my days
Giving back the love You gave
I'm gonna waste it all on You
I'm gonna our my heart's perfume
I don't care if I'm called a fool
I'm wasting it all on You
All for love and all for me
You gave it all for me to be
Alive in You and You in me
Lord, I surrender
To Your eyes and to Your touch
And to the way You give too much
I'm too in love to be all for You
