God I give You what I can today
These scattered ashes that are hid away
I lay it all at Your feet
From the corners of my deepest shame
The empty places where I've worn Your name
Show me the love I say I believe
O Help me to lay it down
Oh, Lord I'll lay it down
O let this be where I die
My Lord with thee crucified
Be lifted high as my kingdoms fall
Once and for all, once and for all
There is victory in my Savior's loss
And in the crimson flowing from the cross
Pour over me, pour over me
O let this be where I die
My Lord with thee crucified
Be lifted high as my kingdoms fall
Once and for all, once and for all
O Lord I lay it down
O Lord I lay it down
Help me to lay it down
O Lord I lay it down
O let this be where I die
My Lord with thee crucified
Be lifted high as my kingdoms fall
Once and for all
Once and for all
O Once and for all
Once and for all
