You broke the night like the sun
And healed my heart with Your great love
Any trouble I couldn't bear
You lifted me upon Your shoulders

A love that's stronger
A love that covers sin
And takes the weight of the world

I love You
All of my hope is in You
Jesus Christ, take my life
Take all of me

You stand on mountaintops with me
With You I walk through the valleys
You gave Your only son for me
Your grace is all I rely on

I love You so
And I give up my heart to say
I need You so
My everything
