All In All

They say Jesus is our rock, our sword and shield
He is the shepherd of our green fields 
Our one and only
They say when you fall down, he’ll pick you up
The times I’ve fallen, I’ve had to crawl
Fight my own battles, bleed through ‘em all 
No, he is not my all in all

I have been strong when I should have been weak 
But no thanks to a God whom I can’t see
I am my own all in all
I may not be brave or have faced all my fears
But I have the wisdom beyond my years 
I am my own all in all

Jesus, so called lamb of God
Where were you when I was falling?
Jesus, so called lamb of God
Where were you when I was calling?
Where were you when I was falling?

Every man, every woman, every child for himself
It may sound harsh to those who’ve had it well
But this is all I’ve known
And maybe it’s whipped and broken my spirit
Maybe it’s left me hurt with a whirret
Maybe I’m not my all in all

Plagued with demons and nightmares day and night
I can’t tell you the countless times that I
Tried to end it all, tried to take my life
Jealous of the souls that succeed the first time
I will confess that I gave up
I had no all in all

Jesus, so called lamb of God
Where were you when I was falling?
Jesus, so called lamb of God
Where were you when I was calling?
Where were you when I was falling?

Falling, hit the ground hard
How am I to stand back up again?
Falling, into a million broken parts
How am I to become whole again?

Then You came to me, a waterfall
Washing over my lifelessness
Breathing hope into my soul
What have I ever done
To deserve Your rescuing?
Why do You bother to save me? 

I understand now, You hear my cries
I rise back to my feet once more
All this time
You were by my side
Turning me into a fighter

You are my all in all

Jesus, lamb of god
You helped me grow stronger
Jesus, precious lamb of god
You made me a warrior
You are my savior

Jesus, lamb of god
Worthy is your name
Jesus, lamb of god
You made me who I am
So worthy is your name
Worthy is your name
