You took me from the wayside
And called me Your own
You've thrown me a lifeline
And carried me home
Jesus You're all I want
You're all I want
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 the violent sea
Drifting away till You rescued me
You set my feet on solid ground
When I lost my grip love held on tight
Even my worst didn't change Your mind
My guilt and shame lost in Your grace
You took me from the wayside
And called me Your own
You've thrown me a lifeline
And carried me home
Jesus You're all I want
You're all I want
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 the 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
And called me Your own
You've thrown me a lifeline
And carried me home
Jesus You're all I want
You're all I want
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 oh
You are my hope
Jesus forever
You've forgiven my failures
You are my hope
You never let go
Jesus forever
You've forgiven my failures
You are my hope
You took me from the wayside
And called me Your own
You've thrown me a lifeline
And carried me home
Jesus You're all I want
You're all I want
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
And oh
You are my hope
Jesus forever
You've forgiven my failures
You are my hope
You never let go
Jesus forever
You've forgiven my failures
