[Intro – soft piano & distant strings]
If I had one breath left… I’d spend it on You…
[Verse 1]
I chased the wind with open hands,
built my empire in the sand.
Every crown I ever wore
turned to rust upon the floor.
You stood silent while I screamed,
watched me murder every dream—
then You stepped into the grave
just to write me free again.
[Pre-Chorus – swelling]
All my righteousness is rags,
but You clothed me when I begged.
[Chorus]
This is my sacrifice—
laying every idol down.
Take my life and make it Christ,
wear my rags like a crown.
Everything I am, everything I’ve done—
I pour it out, it all belongs to One.
This is my sacrifice, my everything for You.
[Verse 2]
I counted scars like currency,
traded grace for misery.
You paid the debt I couldn’t see,
signed Your name in blood for me.
Now the altar holds my shame,
and the fire speaks Your name—
every ash becomes a throne
when the King claims what’s His own.
[Pre-Chorus 2 – heavier]
I was bankrupt, You were rich—
You became poor for this.
[Chorus – fuller, soaring]
This is my sacrifice—
laying every idol down.
Take my life and make it Christ,
wear my rags like a crown.
Everything I am, everything I’ve done—
I pour it out, it all belongs to One.
This is my sacrifice, my everything for You.
[Bridge – clean to scream]
TAKE IT ALL! I’M NOT HOLDING BACK!
(Every dream, every chain, every lack!)
I LAY ME DOWN, I LAY ME DOWN—
LET YOUR GLORY BE MY SOUND!
[Final Chorus – choir & gang vocals]
This is my sacrifice!
Laying every idol down!
Take my life and make it Christ!
Wear my rags like a crown!
Everything I am, everything I’ve done—
I pour it out, it all belongs to One!
This is my sacrifice—my everything… for You.
[Outro – strings fade]
It’s all for You… all for You…
(to silence)
