Fr. Bill’s CD Lyrics
Lives of Praise: All I Ever Wanted
By Wendy Marks, w/new lyrics by Fr. Bill and Heather Schieder
V. 1 Lord, take my heart, my innocence and laughter
Everything I am….I offer now to you.
Lord, take my life, I give it to you freely
That I may know your calling…in everything I do.
Refrain: All I ever wanted, was to serve you Lord
All I ever needed was to be close to you.
V.2 Lord, take my heart, shattered all to pieces
I stumble through my day,
There’s nothing more than I can do.
Jesus, heal my soul, it’s battle-scarred and wounded.
So hold me in your arms, Lord
Because my only hope is you. (Refrain)
v.3 Lord, I need you now. I’ll never take for granted
your grace that brings me joy,
it makes me love to live for you!
Lord, you know my heart, so send me on a mission
To praise you in all ways
So I can sing my song for you. (Final Refrain)
All I ever wanted, was to serve you Lord
All I ever needed was to live and die for you
O let me live and die for you,
Forever be close to you!
