Lyrics Verified by Editorial Team
We're given more than we could earn
A carryover from the past
But are we able to discern
The source of legacy amassed
Heritage is free through a family
Servant dynasty, it is beautiful to me
And it all goes back to You
Anything I do
I know enough to know
I'm nothing on my own
It all goes back to You
And it all goes back to You
All that I come to
I know where I began
I own you what I am
It all goes back to You
We are the planting of our Lord
The painful labor of Your hand
Only to You is the reward
For living roots on which we stand
Heritage is free, branches on a tree
Evergreen indeed, it is beautiful to me
And it all goes back to You
Anything I do
I know enough to know
I'm nothing on my own
It all goes back to You
And it all goes back to You
All that I come to
I know where I began
I own you what I am
It all goes back to You
Heritage is free
Through a family
Servant dynasty
It is beautiful to me
And it all goes back to You
Anything I do
I know enough to know
I'm nothing on my own
It all goes back to You
And it all goes back to You
All that I come to
I know where I began
I own you what I am
It all goes back to You
I know enough to know
I'm nothing on my own
It all goes back to You
I know where I began
I own you what I am
It all goes back to You
