Christy Nockels' song 'I Depend on You' is a worshipful declaration of total reliance on God for every aspect of life, from daily needs to eternal hope. The lyrics express dependence on God for waking breath, daily bread, and the sun to rise, as well as for victories and rest. Drawing from Jesus' words in John 14:6 and 15:5, the song emphasizes that He is the way, truth, life, and the vine, while believers are the branches. It also touches on facing death with confidence in resurrection and eternal life, making it a song of trust and surrender.

For my waking breath

For my daily bread

I depend on You

For the sun to rise

For my sleep at night

I depend on You

Yes I depend on You

You?re the way the truth and the life

You?re the well that never runs dry

I?m the branch and You are the vine

Draw me close and teach me to abide

Where the Spirit leads

As I?m following

I depend on You

For the victories

Still in front of me

I depend on You

You?re the way the truth and the life

You?re the well that will never run dry

I?m the branch and You are the vine

Draw me close and teach me to abide

Be my strength my song in the night

Be my all my Treasure my prize

I am Yours forever You?re mine

Draw me close and teach me to abide

When I pass through death

As I enter rest

I depend on You

For eternal life

To be raised with Christ

I depend on You

You?re the way the truth and the life

You?re the well that will never run dry

I?m the branch and You are the vine

Draw me close and teach me to abide

Be my strength my song in the night

Be my all my Treasure my prize

I am Yours forever You?re mine

Draw me close and teach me to abide
