All We Ever Wanted

The basic desire of a true Christian is to know Christ intimately and to glorify God forever.

All we ever wanted (whisper)

All we ever wanted (whisper)

All we ever wanted

All we ever wanted is to know You more!

 

All we ever wanted is to know You more

All we ever wanted is to feel Your love.

This burning fire dwelling within

Is what we desire instead of sin.

We’re tired of being lost

We’re tired of feeling so unaccomplished.

And so

And so,

We come back to You.

And so

And so,

We come back to You.

 

All we ever wanted is to know You more

All we ever wanted is to see your face.

To have You forever and this peace

That makes all pain and trials cease.

We’re tired of feeling ashamed

We’re tired of feeling so condemned.

And so

And so,

We come back to You.

And so

And so,

We come back to You.

 

Ohhhhhhh! When the storm is calm

We’re not afraid cause You are here.

Ohhhhhhh! There is nothing else that is closer,

So closer, to our hearts than You.

You tell us that all is well;

You tell the storm

“Peace be still!”

We worship You

We worship You.

 

Allelu

Alleluia!

Allelu

Alleluia,

Alleluia,

Allaleuia.

Good job! :)

[J. C. Koch]

i love the rhythm to this piece (i guess thats why you said it can e sung)
It took me to the second reading to really get the religious undertones, but looking back its clear God is a big influence. do you play any instruments, this piece is really great as a song?

[SamBug]

This was so fun to read and think of as a song. Very well written. The rhythm flowed very well. Good job!

[The Analog Kid]

You have a good knack for inspirational lyrics!
