Lyrics
Verse 1
You were chasing me, I heard Your voice still my heart was at war
So long I was bound, then I found there is no life without You
Beyond all my borders and walls
I found a love that I can't ignore
No, I won't outrun Your hand
Chorus
All You want is all I am
You take it all yes, You take it all yes
All You want is all I am
You take it all yes, You take it all yes
Nothing else matters
Nothing else matters
Verse 2
You are all I need, now I can see that nothing else could fill the void, Complete me with Your love, till all of my pieces are whole
You waited for me to come home, Tried to be strong but it wasn't enough
For me to outrun Your hand, no
For me to outrun Your hand
Chorus
All You want is all I am
You take it all yes, You take it all yes
All You want is all I am
You take it all yes, You take it all yes
Nothing else matters
Nothing else matters
Bridge
Take away everything that does not look just like You
Empty me and pour Your spirit out nothing else will do
Chorus
All You want is all I am
You take it all yes, You take it all yes
All You want is all I am
You take it all yes, You take it all yes
Nothing else matters
Nothing else matters

Nothing else matters
Nothing else matters

Meaning & Inspiration
This worship song is built on the idea of surrender. The first verse describes a voice that kept chasing the singer through a time of inner conflict, and ends with the decision to stop running from an outstretched hand.
The chorus is a simple exchange: all that is wanted is all that the singer is, and it is given freely. The closing repetition of "Nothing else matters" turns that exchange into a statement of priorities. The second verse speaks of a void that only divine love can fill, and of a Father who waited for a return home, which resembles the story in Luke 15:20 of a father who sees his son far off and runs to meet him.
The bridge asks for everything unlike Christ to be removed and for the Spirit to be poured out. That request is close to Psalm 51:10, where the psalmist asks for a clean heart. The structure is plain and repetitive, which keeps the focus on the central confession.
