Hillsong United's song reflects on the paradox of finding life by surrendering to God. The lyrics describe a journey from seeking worldly heights to discovering that true freedom and treasure are found in Christ's sacrifice. The chorus emphasizes that laying down one's life leads to spiritual renewal, while the bridge expresses a posture of surrender at Jesus' feet. The song connects the idea of trading heaven for humanity with the believer's response of giving everything back to God. It is a worshipful meditation on grace, surrender, and the joy of being found in God's love.

Lyrics Verified by Editorial Team

What fortune lies beyond the stars
Those dazzling heights too vast to climb
I got so high to fall so far
But I found heaven as love swept low

Chorus
My heart beating My soul breathing
I found my life When I laid it down
Upward falling
Spirit soaring
I touch the sky
When my knees hit the ground

What treasure waits within Your scars
The gift of freedom gold can?t buy
I bought the world and sold my heart
You traded heaven to have me again

Bridge
Find me here at Your feet again
Everything I am
Reaching out I surrender
Come sweep me up in Your love again
And my soul will dance
On the wings of forever

Words and Music by Joel Houston, Dylan Thomas & Michael Guy Chislett
