What If I Gave Everything

All my life I longed to be a hero 

My sword raised high, running to the battle 

I was going to take giants down 

Be a man you would write about 

Deep in my chest is the heart of a warrior 


So why am I still standing here 

Why am I still holding back from You 

I hear You call me out into deeper waters 

But I settle on the shallow end 

So why am I still standing here 


So afraid what it might cost to follow You 

I?d walk by faith if I could get these feet to move 

But I don?t want to live that way 

I don?t want to look back someday  

On a life that never stepped across the line 

 

So why am I still standing here 

Why am I still holding back from You  

You?ve given me a faith that can move a mountain 

But I?m still playing in the sand 

Building little kingdoms that?ll never stand  

I hear You call me out into deeper waters 

But I settle on the shallow end 


I?m so tired of standing here

What if I gave everything to You 

What if I gave everything

What if I stopped holding back from You 

Starting now I?m stepping out onto deeper waters

What if I gave everything  

What if I stopped holding back from You 

Starting now I?m stepping out onto deeper waters 

I want to see some mountains move 


Ready to give everything 

Say goodbye to standing here
