[Verse 1]
All to Jesus I surrender
Let my will be tethered to your heart
And Lord I trust you
Place no one above you
Daily I return to Calvary's call
[Chorus]
With arms wide open
I'm unraveled at the cross
To know you, to love you more
It's only ever been about you
It's only ever been about you
It's only ever been about you, Jesus
[Chorus]
It's only ever been about you
It's only ever been about you
It's only ever been about you, Jesus
[Verse 2]
All to Jesus I surrender
Lay down every treasure
Take them all
Just to know you
Place no one before you
Honor and adore you with all my heart
[Chorus]
With arms wide open
I'm unraveled at the cross
To know you, to love you more
It's only ever been about you
It's only ever been about you
It's only ever been about you, Jesus
[Chorus]
It's only ever been about you
It's only ever been about you
It's only ever been about you, Jesus
[Bridge]
Is Jesus at the ending?
Is Jesus at the start?
Is Jesus at the center of every beating heart?
Is Jesus in the garden?
Is Jesus on the cross?
Is Jesus bursting from the grave, reigning over all?
Is Jesus in the deserts?
Is Jesus on the waves?
Is Jesus as the Shepherd, in the land of sinners slain?
Is Jesus as the Lion?
He's breaking through the clouds
He's King of Kings and Lord of Lords, and every knee will bow
[Chorus]
It's only ever been about you
It's only ever been about you
It's only ever been about you, Jesus
[Chorus]
It's always gonna be about you
It's always gonna be about you
It's always gonna be about you, Jesus
[Outro]
All my heart, my soul, my strength, my mind
It's yours
It's yours
It's yours
It's only ever been about you
It's only ever been about you
It's only ever been about you, Jesus
