Let my heart be a temple
Let that temple have a throne
Let the one who sits upon it
Be You and You alone
I surrender my ambitions
I lay down all my pride
That I would be Your servant
And You would be my God
Let Your will be done in me
Let Your kingdom come in me
In my life Lord let it be
As it is in heaven
Like a battle weary soldier
I'm lifting up my hands
In absolute surrender
My life, my will, my plans
Yours will be the glory
The honor and the fame
And this will be my story
Lifting high Your name
Let Your will be done in me
Let Your kingdom come in me
In my life Lord let it be
As it is in heaven
I lift my hands and say that I need You
I lift my heart and say that I love You
I give my life, God I am forever Yours
I lift my hands and say that I need You
I lift my heart and say that I love You
I give my life, God I am forever Yours
Let Your will be done in me
Let Your kingdom come in me
In my life Lord let it be
As it is in heaven
Be enthroned upon our hearts
Take control of every part
Be the King of all we are
Oh God in heaven
I lift my hands and say that I need You
I lift my heart and say that I love You
I give my life, God I am forever Yours
...and say that I need You
I lift my heart and say that I love You
I give my life, God I am forever Yours
