all you've ever wanted

i just looked up today

and realized how far away i am from where you are

you gave me life worth dying for

but between the altar and the door

i bought the lies that promised more

and here i go again

lord

i know i let you down

but somehow

i will make you proud

i'll turn this sinking ship around

and make it back to you

but all my deeds and my good name

are just dirty rags that tear and strain

to cover all my guilty stains

that you already washed away

all you've ever wanted

all you've ever wanted

all you've ever wanted was my heart

freedom's arms are open

my chains have all been broken

relentless love has called me from the start

and all you wanted was my heart

i was chasing healing when i'd been made well

i was fighting battles when you conquered hell

living free but from a prison cell

lord

i lay it down today

so i'll stop living off of how i feel

and start standing on your truth revealed

jesus is my strength

my shield

and he will never fail me

no more chains

i've been set free

no more fighting battles you've won for me

now in christ

i stand complete
