I fought with my conscience, I defended my pride For selfish desires, I put You aside Yet deeper within me, I knew this was true My life is a waste if it's spent without You So I gave it over, Lord You took control Turned hurting to healing, You brought light to my soul My heart is surrendered, laid down at Your feet To be filled more with You and be emptied of me It's all that I want, God You're all that I need You are the air I breathe You are the strength in me Whether I'm bound or free God I'm in need of You When I am down and out I know You'll carry me This is my song of dependency You know me better than I'll ever know You've taught me to trust You, I've learned to let go God You're a mystery that I can't understand But I count all as joy to be with you again To know You Lord Jesus, my Saviour and Friend You are the air I breathe You are the strength in me Whether I'm bound or free God I'm in need of You When I am down and out I know You'll carry me This is my song of dependency You are the air I breathe You are the strength in me Whether I'm bound or free God I'm in need of You When I am down and out I know You'll carry me This is my song of dependency God You're my all, my dependency
