All the promises I’ve broken
All the times I’ve let you down
You’ve forgot them
But still I hold on to the pain that makes me drown
Now I’m ready
To let it go
To give it away

Take it all
‘Cause I can’t take it any longer
All I have, I can’t make it on my own
Take the first, take the last
Take the good and take the rest
Here I am, all I have
Take it all

All the roads that lie before me
All the struggles I go through
Every second I’m reminded
That it all belongs to you
Now I’m ready
To let it go
To give it away

Ever since I died to myself
You gave a better life to me
I give you my finest moment
I give you the last breath I breathe

I don’t have a God I can put on a stand
Or a God I hold in the palm of my hand
I have a God that’s holding me
And I don’t have a God that I can create
In the place I live with the money I make
I have a God, He made everything
So I don’t need a temporary man made deity
When I got the real thing
I got the real thing

He’s the Lord of all the earth
The maker of all things
He alone is the one true God
Kingdoms rise and fall
But even through it all
He remains
The one true God

I don’t have a thing that I got on my own
I don’t have a care that I carry alone
But I have a God who’s carrying me
I don’t have sin that He doesn’t forgive
And I don’t have a heart that is worthy of His
But I have a God who still loves me
So I don’t need a temporary man made deity
When I got the real thing
I got the real thing

Lord of all the earth
The maker of all things
He alone is the one true God
Kingdoms rise and fall
But even through it all
He remains
The one true God

Who is this King of Glory
The Lord strong and mighty
Who is this King of Glory
The Lord strong and mighty
Who is this King of Glory
Who is this King of Glory

Today I found myself
After searching all these years
And the man that I saw, he wasn’t at all who I thought he’d be
I was lost when you found me here
And I was broken beyond repair
Then you came along and you sang your song over me

It feels like I’m born again
It feels like I’m living
For the very first time
For the very first time
In my life

Make a promise to me now
Reassure my heart somehow
That the love that I feel is so much more real than anything
I’ve a feeling in my soul
And I pray that I’m not wrong
That the life I have now, it is only the beginning

It feels like I’m born again
It feels like I’m living
For the very first time
For the very first time
It feels like I’m breathing
It feels like I’m moving
For the very first time
For the very first time

I wasn’t looking for something that was more
Than what I had yesterday
Then you came to me and you gave to me
Life and a love that I’ve never known
That I’ve never felt before

It feels like I’m born again
It feels like I’m living
For the very first time
I’m living for the first time
It feels like I’m breathing
It feels like I’m moving
For the very first time
I’m living for the first time
In my life

Each and every single day
I was throwing life away with questions
Searching for a better way
Always looking in the wrong direction

My heart I could not trust
‘Cause it lies to me too much
And my mind just couldn’t
Understand it all

How could I have been so blind to not see you
The more that I look the more I find
You’ve led me to the truth
That I am nothing if I’m without you
You opened my eyes and helped me to find
How could I have been so blind

I have fallen once again
Evidently made the wrong decision
Stumbling in the dark
Now I need you here to be my vision

My heart I cannot trust
‘Cause it lies to me too much
And my mind just cannot
Understand it all

You took my heart and you changed it
With your words of life
You took my eyes and you opened them
And gave me sight

Give me something that I can believe
And then I’ll share it with
the world for everyone to see
Take away the darkness, all the pain and sadness
I know it’s you that put this light inside of me

I believe in a faith that’s strong
I believe in a hope that carries on
I believe in these things and more
Most of all, most of all
I believe in love

If I had the strength to move a mountain
Would you be amazed by all of my abilities
I guess it would not mean
much if I didn’t have love
And this is what I really
want you all to see

Here I am at what feels like the end
And so I come to You, my Lord, again
With this burden buried deep within
This heart that You have made
In this trial that I’m going through
I don’t question ’cause I know it’s true
That the sorrow brings me back to You
And You have made me stronger

It’s been forty days and forty nights
Down the road of many trials
And I pray it’s only for a season
‘Cause in the wilderness and in the flood
You’re the one I’m thinking of
And I know You’ve brought me for a reason

I have one more thing I’ve got to say
Before they try to take my life away
Let it be known that I am not afraid
Let You will be done, Lord

Nobodys ever gonna love you like i am
You never can deny that
Nobodys ever gonna hold you like I am
I’ll love you ’til i die
Until the day i die

I said “forever”
I said “forever” and I mean it
I made a promise
And i intend to always keep it

Nobodys ever gonna love you like i am
You never can deny that
Nobodys ever gonna hold you like I am
I’ll love you ’til i die
Until the day i die

Forever is so far
Beyond the reach of my mind
So I’ll give all
I have, my heart, my love, my life

Nobodys ever gonna love you like i am
You never can deny that
Nobodys ever gonna hold you like I am
I’ll love you ’til i die

Nobodys ever gonna love you like i am
You never can deny that
Nobodys ever gonna hold you like I am
I’ll love you ’til i die
Until the day i die

Until the day i die
Until i die
Until the day i die
