No matter how far I run
Run away from you
You’ve always been there
And you welcome me home
Like I never was gone
Friend of all friends
I’ve forsaken
I’ve mistreated you
Lover divine
No matter how hard I tried
To stray from your side
You’ve always been true
And I owe it all to you Jesus
I owe it all to you
All my life I lay before you
I owe it all to you
It seems too good to be true
That all that I’ve got to do
Is learn to let go
I lay this burden down
And I let your love surround
All of my soul
When I’m broken
You mend me
Healer divine
And all that I’ve got to do
Is learn to follow you
Let your grace break through
You always lift me when I fall
You always hear me when I call
And you forgive me Lord
And in your grace I am found

Behind the Song:"This is my favorite song on the album. I was sitting at the dining room table trying desperately to write a hit. It clearly was not working. I was frustrated. My career wasn’t where I wanted it to be, and I felt the weight of my life in my own hands. I felt God was saying, “Stop trying to write a hit song and just tell me how you feel about me.” This song just poured out of my heart.
The theme of this record is about letting go of my life, trusting the Almighty, and knowing that His love is the only remaining force in the universe. “I Owe It All” is my unashamed confession." -
