I've been looking for a reason
I've been longing for a purpose
Losing all my meaning
Run out of excuses
Lord it's hard to know you
I don't always see your plan
But holiness is calling me
So take me as I am
'Cause you are my everything
You are the song I sing
I'll do anything for you
Teach me how to pray
To live a life of grace
I'll go anywhere for you
Jesus be my everything
Lord I get so tired
Of the struggle within
I settle in complacency
And I;m weighed down in my sins
So lead me past emotion
'Cause they change with the wind
I want to be a true disciple
To daily choose your hand
'Cause you are my everything
You are the song I sing
I'll do anything for you
Teach me how to pray
To live a life of grace
I'll go anywhere for you
You are my everything
You are the song I sing
I'll do anything for you
Teach me how to pray
To live a life of grace
I'll go anywhere for you
Jesus be my everything
Jesus be my everything
Jesus be my everything
