When I'm alone You're what I'm singing to.
Here on the road, singing a psalm to You.
When I go home, You're what I'm going to.
Before Your throne, I'm being changed by You.
And I know I know I could never forsake You.
I've tasted and seen,
I don't want to replace You,
'Cause when you move
it's the sweetest breakdown,
You put me back in the image of Your own.
But here I am banging on Your door,
These are my people, and I give myself
To Your arms, to Your arms, living in Your love,
'Cause you died to break the lies.
I tried hard without You, but I couldn't make it through, letting myself go,
handing it all to you.
The things I've seen I could never unsee,
Your touch unbound all the
shackles holding me,
And I'll be here waiting patiently
To be Yours in the Kingdom, eternally.
But here I am kicking down my door,
These are my people, and I give myself
To Your arms, to Your arms, living in Your love,
'Cause you died to break the lies.
So here I am stepping through the door,
We are Your people, and we give ourselves
To Your arms, to Your arms, living in Your love,
'Cause you died to break the lies.
(Change, Father, the hearts of man,
Break the chains, Kingdom come,
Raise up our voice as one,
Holy Spirit stir in us / changing us)
