Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah
Here at the alter of broken things
I've finally throwing down this mirror of me
When I've done all I can do
And there's nothing left to prove
I just need You
I'm totally completely dependent upon You
I'm totally completely dependent upon You
Here at the place of empty vessels
I'm pouring out this heart of selfish ambition
When there's no more options left
And I'm nothing but a mess
That when You're best
I'm totally completely dependent upon You
I'm totally completely dependent upon You
When there's no words left to say
And there's nothing left to pray
I just wait
Oh, I wait on You, Lord
I'm trusting in Your Word
Yeah, yeah
'Cause You're totally completely faithful to me
Oh, yeah
You're totally completely faithful to me
