Matt Maher's song 'Be the Lord of My Life' is a worshipful surrender to God, expressing a desire for Him to be the center and guide of one's life. The lyrics use imagery of a ship without an anchor and a heart prone to wander to convey human frailty, then turn to God as the destination and the way. The chorus asks God to be the song, light, Savior, and Lord of the singer's life, emphasizing a committed relationship. Themes of mercy, forgiveness, and growing love are woven throughout, culminating in a declaration of wanting to follow God's lead and love whom He loves.

Lyrics Verified by Editorial Team

A sky without a north star
A ship without an anchor
Caught up in the current
My heart is prone to wander

All the roads I?ve taken
Lead me back to nowhere
You?re the destination
You?re the way to get there

You can have it all

Be the song I sing
Be my guiding light
Savior of my soul
Be the Lord of my life
Every step I take
Always by my side
I am yours, you are mine
Be the Lord of my life

Mercies never failing
Forgiveness overflowing
The beauty you?re unveiling
A love that just keeps growing

This is all I want
I surrender all

Be the song I sing
Be my guiding light
Savior of my soul
Be the Lord of my life
Every step I take
Always by my side
I am yours, you are mine
Be the Lord of my life

I wanna go where you go
Wanna move where you move
Wanna love who you love
Watch it break on through
