Chasing after this world makes me tired
Praisin? my own name leaves me dry
There?s gotta be so much more to life than this
A higher calling that I missed
I want my life to count, every breath
[Chorus 2x:]
I wanna live with abandon
Give You all that I am
Every part of my heart, Jesus
I place in Your hands
I wanna live with abandon
I?ll drop everything to follow You
It?s only Your hands I hold onto
There?s gotta be so much more to life than this
A higher calling that I missed
I want my life to count, every breath
[Chorus 2x]
[2x]
I?m not looking back
I?m done with that
Wanna give You all I have
[Chorus 2x]
