I was a prisoner, till You broke the door down
You freed me, oh, You freed me
I was in darkness, till You turned the lights on
You found me, first, You found me
I was lifeless, till You laid Your life down
You loved me, first, You loved me
Yeah, I was joyless, till You put Your song in me
Now I'm singing, always singing
You're all that I want
You're all that I've ever needed
This unthinkable love poured out on me
It's overwhelming
No longer broken, You picked up the pieces
You healed me, oh, You healed me
And I can't be quiet, Your Spirit is alive in me
Now I'm singing, always singing
You're all that I want
You're all that I've ever needed
This unthinkable love poured out on me
It's overwhelming
I'm wide awake, wide awake in wonder
I can't escape, can't escape Your great love
I'm wide awake, wide awake in Your presence
It's overwhelming, it's overwhelming
You're all that I want
All that I've ever needed
This unthinkable love poured out on me
It's overwhelming
You're all that I want
You're all that I've ever needed
This unthinkable love poured out on me
It's overwhelming
You take this heart of stone and make it beat again
You take my dry bones and breathe Your life in
You take this heart of stone and make it beat again
You take my dry bones and breathe Your life in
You take this heart of stone and make it beat again
You take my dry bones and breathe Your life in
It's overwhelming
