All the wasted years all the many tears I’ve cried
Trying to fill my life trying to bring some peace to my mind
Never really knowing Lord it was You I was long for
Till You opened my heart and I tasted of You
Now all I want is more
All I want is You is You
All I want is You
I hunger and thirst for You in a dry and weary land
And all I want is You
It’s the cry of this generation
For we’re tired of the religions of man
Now we are consumed by a desire to be close to You
And the passions of this world have nothing we’re looking for
Blessed is the generation whose God is the Lord
Our hearts are completely Yours
All we want is You…
Pour Your Spirit out on Your sons and daughters…
