You took me from the wayside
Called me your own
Throwing me a lifeline
You carried me home
Jesus you're all I want, you're all I want
And over the horizon
Is where I look beyond
You're the silver lining
Breaking through the storm
Jesus, you're all I want, you're all I want
A castaway lost in a violent sea
Driftin' away 'til you rescued me
You set my feet on solid ground
When I lost my grip love held on tight
Even my words didn't change your mind
My guilt and shame lost in your grace
You took me from the wayside
Called me your own
Throwing me a lifeline
You carried me home
Jesus you're all I want, you're all I want
And over the horizon
Is where I look beyond
You're the silver lining
Breaking through the storm
Jesus, you're all I want, you're all I want
Runaway heart in a distant land
I wandered so far still to find you there
There's no escaping your embrace
With my hope locked in and my future sure
My life has a cause worth fighting for
My soul exists to know your name
You took me from the wayside
Called me your own
Throwing me a lifeline
You carried me home
Jesus you're all I want, you're all I want
And over the horizon
Is where I look beyond
You're the silver lining
Breaking through the storm
Jesus, you're all I want, you're all I want
And ohhh, you are my hope
Jesus forever, you've forgiven my failure
You are my hope, you never let go
Jesus forever, you've forgiven my failure
You are my hope
You took me from the wayside
Called me your own
Throwing me a lifeline
You carried me home
Jesus you're all I want, you're all I want
And over the horizon
Is where I look beyond
You're the silver lining
Breaking through the storm
Jesus, you're all I want, you're all I want
You're all I want
You're all I want
