Hillsong Worship's song is a prayer of surrender and dependence on God. The lyrics express how God's grace overcomes human weakness, giving life purpose and meaning. The singer lays down their own desires, asking to decrease so that God may increase in them. They acknowledge God as the one who breaks chains and lights the way, and they desire to display God's life through their own. The song reflects a heart fully yielded to God's will, seeking to glorify Him above all else.

Verse 1

Invading all my weakness

You wrapped me up in grace

The worst of me succeeded by the best of You


Verse 2

My heart is overtaken

My soul is overwhelmed

The worst of me succeeded by the best of You


Verse 3

My dreams have found their purpose

My future in Your hands  

This life would have no meaning

If it weren't for You


Pre-Chorus

So I lay me down

For kingdom come

Steal all that is within me

'Cause all I want in this world

Is more of You


Chorus:

In the less of me it is You

Increasing as I fade away

Your light for all the world to see


God it is You who breaks the chains

It is You who lights the way

And everything I am cries out for You


Verse 4

Lord make my life transparent

Your life in mine displayed

Let every earthly glory go back to You


Bridge

Woah 


Pre-Chorus 2

So I lay me down   

So I lay me down
