VERSE 1: 
Love
Laid its breath against my chest
My skin was thick
But You breathed down all my walls 

Love
Like the fire steals the cold
The ice wore thin
As Your light tore through my door 

PRE-CHORUS: 
You have my heart
You have my heart
You have my heart oh God 
You have my heart 

CHORUS: 
Oh hallelujah
Hallelujah
Oh hallelujah
I found Your love
When I lost my heart to You 

VERSE 2: 
Love
Trading crowns to wear my shame
The Prince?s throne for the cross that bore my thorns
Oh love
Like crashing waves of endless grace
You won't relent
Until all I am is Yours
