I am Your temple, Lord
For You have purchased me
You bought me with the highest price
That You alone could pay
With my eyes fixed on Jesus
As Your Spirit works in me
Help me throw off everything
That ever draws me away
(And now)
Everything the world pushes me into
Is all forsaken
I forsake it all for You
In this life and everything I do through
I’m not forsaken
I’m never forsaken by You
I hold tight to Your promise
That I have been made new
And now You have placed me here
So that I may shine Your light
I surrender all I am
Lord, I give myself to You
I live in hope of the day
When You will make all things right
(because)
Everything the world pushes me into
Is all forsaken
I forsake it all for You
In this life and everything I do through
I’m not forsaken
I’m never forsaken by You
Help me take up my cross
And leave this world behind
I want to lose myself in You
I give You my life
I want to know this truth
That with You I died
And because You live in me
I am made alive
(and so)
Everything the world pushes me into
Is all forsaken
I forsake it all for You
In this life and everything I do through
I’m not forsaken
I’m never forsaken by You
