Well God, be my vision, be my holy truth
Yeah, I'll be the branches, if You'll be the root
I'd give all my freedom, I'd become a slave
To lay on Your shore, and be washed by Your waves
To lay on Your shore, and be washed by Your waves
I don't care for riches, nor man's empty praise
'Cause You're all I want, for all of my days
I'd give all my money, I'd throw it away
To stand in Your presence and feel the light of Your face
To stand in Your presence and feel the light of Your face
'Cause all I want is You, You know
Yes, through the joy of letting go
Yeah, I've found my peace
I've found my hope
I've found my home
Yeah, all I want is You, You know
'Cause through the joy of letting go
Yeah, I've found my peace
I've found my hope
I've found my home
God, be my treasure, Lord, be my reward
You're my holy Jesus, what I'm fighting for
I'd give all my history, just to stand at Your door
To knock and hear, "Enter, you're an orphan no more"
To knock and hear, "Enter, you're an orphan no more"
'Cause all I want is You, You know
Yes, through the joy of letting go
Yeah, I've found my peace
I've found my hope
I've found my home
You're all I want is You, You know
'Cause through the joy of letting go
Yeah, I've found my peace
I've found my hope
I've found my home
Yeah, I've found my peace
I've found my hope
I've found my home
Yeah, I've found my peace
I've found my hope
I've found my home
