From the day I was conceived
I was told of Your majesty
I went to church
And was taught about Your works
Sunday School
Sunday morning and evening
Bible class and prayer too
I knew just how to shout
Worship and speak in tongues
I knew about the death, burial, and resurrection
I knew how to look the part
I knew how to play the game
I learned how to be arrogant, mean, and backbite
I knew what it was like to have it all together
Yet, in the midst of all of this
I knew Your Word
I read the scriptures
What I saw and knew
Was no reflection of You
I tried so hard to be like You
In a dry and barren land
The more I knew and understood
The harder life became
I knew who I was
I knew whose I was
But I was attached to the people
I longed for their love
There came a day
When I was tired of life as I knew it
All that mattered was You
All that mattered
Was Your Word, Your will, my destiny
So I gave it up
All that I was
All that I had
All that I wanted
All that I loved
Simply for the glory of You
I longed to know You
In the power of Your resurrection
And the fellowship of Your suffering
I desired less of me
And all of you
So I laid down my life
And I picked up my cross
I journeyed from religion to relationship
I journeyed my God to You
