Everything I am, everything I long to be
I lay it down at Your feet
Everything I am, everything I long to be
I lay it down at Your feet
I lay it down, I lay it down
I lay it down at Your feet
I lay it down, I lay it down
I lay it down at Your feet
Everything I am, everything I long to be
I lay it down at Your feet
Everything I am, everything I long to be
I lay it down at Your feet
I lay it down, I lay it down
I lay it down at Your feet
I lay it down, I lay it down
I lay it down
Oh, Pearl of greatest price
No act of sacrifice
Can match the gift of life
I find within Your gaze
Oh, what a sweet exchange
I die to rise again
Lifted up from the grave
Into Your hands of grace
Oh, Pearl of greatest price
No act of sacrifice
Can match the gift of life
I find within Your gaze
Oh, what a sweet exchange
I die to rise again
Lifted up from the grave
Into Your hands of grace
I lay it down, I lay it down
I lay it down at Your feet
I lay it down, I lay it down
I lay it down at Your feet
I lay it down, I lay it down
I lay it down at Your feet
I lay it down, lay it down
Lay it down at Your feet
