Here's all of me

You have all that once was mine

And Here's my promise

I'm yours to hold I'll stay here by your side

May what He's joined be not undone

May our love put Christ on display

When we're weak and when we're strong

When it's hard to carry on

Oh God we want Your love on display

Here's my life I lay it down

I give up myself for you

And here's my will I submit to you

I will follow where you lead

Here we are

We're Yours and Yours alone God

May what You've joined be not undone

We want the world to see Your love through us
