You're my everything

You're my Sovereign King
You are...Messiah
My Hearts...Desire
Verse 1:
When I was born in '87 almost died
But Through a praying church, came back alive
Get to know God? I didn't want to try
I always did believe but didn't know why
I used to fall asleep every Sunday during mass
I didn't understand Bible even in the class
Truth be told I was focused on some other things
Like how could my life be worth anything
I was suicidal, cut myself, takin' pills
That wasn't necessary cuz' I wasn't feelin' ill
Well that's a lie cuz' really I was sick in the spirit
But I thought God was too busy in heaven to hear it
But he heard me and he reached out
Now he's in me, I've been cleaned out
Used to be the saddest kid you never understood
Now I'm standing here and I can tell you that my God is good
Hook:
You are my Lord
You're my everything
You're my Holy God
You're my Sovereign King
You are...Messiah
My Hearts...Desire
Verse 2:
It's not an easy road living it out for Christ
Lost a lot of friends gained some tears at night
People always like "There's that Christian boy"
Doesn't drink, doesn't smoke, claims he has joy
Look, I learned to dance in the rain
In the storms of my life cuz they come from his name
He wouldn't give me more than I can bare
Yeah I cry sometimes but I know that he's there
I fight depression but I knock it out everynight
I get beat up but I see my hands raised high
Besides, you gain muscle when you got through a struggle
Only the strong survive or get left in the rubble
So I rise from the ashes
And I leave it all in the past
Takin' off the old puttin' on the new
The wardrobe change was long overdue
Hook:
You are my Lord
You're my everything
You're my Holy God
You're my Sovereign King
You are...Messiah
My Hearts...Desire
Bridge:
And I know that I'm never alone
And when I walk through the valley I'm not on my own
Walk with the Father walk with the Son
Walk with the spirit cuz they're all in one
And I know (and I know) he's in me
What he started he will complete it
And bow myself to the King
Raise my voice to sing
Hook:
You are my Lord
You're my everything
You're my Holy God
You're my Sovereign King
You are...Messiah
My Hearts...Desire
