About the song

Listen

In 2005, in Orlando, in the car on my way to a rehearsal for a show I was doing, I started humming this melody and I recorded it on my phone. Once I got back to the hotel, I started singing and writing the melody for this praise and worship song. It just kinda came to me with out even thinking about it. It’s just a pure and simple praise song to the Lord of how amazing he is and how humble I am for all that He has provided for me. Musically, it went through quite a metamorphosis and went through numerous drafts and went through 3 different composers. Richard Smith, Steve Erdeman and the late, great Jeff Linder. I knew what I wanted and once I heard the end result I knew that it was anointed. 

Lyrics

Verse
I wanna say
With all my heart
That I worship You my Lord
Please hear my voice
With all I am
For I worship You my God

I yearn for your presence
Your grace abundantly
Show me Your mercy
Please set me free

Chorus
Cuz You are Holy
You are wonderful
You are Father
King of Kings

Cuz You are Jesus
You are my true God
You are Mighty
God, You’re everything

Verse
Pieces of me
Fallen apart
How I call upon Your name
Can’t find my way
Out of this mess
How I call upon Your Grace
I need to feel You near me
To call upon Your name
Release me, oh, Father
From this pain

Chorus 
Cuz You are Holy 
You are wonderful 
You are Father 
King of Kings 

Cuz You are Jesus 
You are my true God 
You are Mighty 
God, You’re everything

Bridge
And now I can’t remember J
ust how I used to be
I am Yours forever For eternity
And I’ll never leave You
I praise Your Holy name
I worship You so freely
My life’s not the same

Chorus----->
I need to feel you near me
To call upon Your name
You are mighty
God You’re everything
Cuz You are Jesus Y
ou are my true God
​I am Yours forever
