For the love poured out, for the price of freedom
Let the whole Earth sing
Hear the praises rising
We stand in awe of what You’ve done for us
At the cross
The hope of the world, lifted on high
Calling us home with arms out wide
To know You forever, to love You forever
You are our everything
Our sin erased, we’re forgiven
You made a way You were our ransom
We owe this life
For all You’ve done for us
At the cross
The hope of the world, lifted on high
Calling us home with arms out wide
To know You forever, to love You forever
You are our everything
(repeat)
All we need is You
All we need is You
All we need is You
(repeat)
To know You forever, to love You forever
You are our everything
To know You forever, to love You forever
You are our everything
All we need is You
