EVERYTHING THAT I AM
Everything in these hands
Every that’s good comes from You
You’re the one who gave me life
You’re the one that sacrificed
The Son of God died that I might live
Wake up my soul and sing of what the Lord has done
And is doing in my life
You are good and Your love endures for ever
You are good and Your mercy lasts a life time
You’re the air that I breathe
You’re my strength when I’m week
You’re the source of everything I need
You’re the light in my life
You’re the hope in these times
You’re the only one who sets me free
Wake up my soul and sing of what the Lord has done
And is doing in my life
And I will rise in the strength of Your glorious name
And in the power of Your Son
Henry Cross & Marc James
