VERSE 1

You?re the center of my attention 

The only thing I want is you 

You?re focus of my affection 

The only thing I want is you 2x


CHORUS

You?re the reason I'm here

You?re the reason I'm here

You?re the reason that my hearts still singing 

You?re the reason I breathe

You?re the reason I dream

You?re the reason that my life has meaning


VERSE 2

I was searching, I was hiding

I was desperately in need of you.

So you left Heaven to come and find me

Oh, where would I be if not for you 

Oh, where would I be if not for you


BRIDGE

For all my days

My soul will say 

Always and Only Jesus.


Forevermore

My heart is yours 

Always and Only Jesus.
