Lyrics
Verse 1:
And I close my eyes to see
My King in majesty
Your grace compels my soul
To love and drawing close
And I lift my hands and sing
Surrender everything
In You I know I'm found
My God, to You I'll bow
Chorus:
Now until forever
Jesus, I surrender
Show me what I don't know
More of You
I'm desperate for Your presence
Longing to be with You
Lead me to a new place
More of You
Verse 2:
Through the fire, I'll persevere
I won't submit to anything
Where I'll go you've been before
And all my trust is in You Lord
Chorus x2:
Now until forever
Jesus, I surrender
Show me what I don't know
More of You
I'm desperate for Your presence
Longing to be with You
Lead me to a new place
More of You
Bridge x3:
Lead me to You
Forever, Lord, I will pursue
I will pursue
You've won my heart
Jesus, You're all that I want
All that I want
Chorus x5:
All I need is You
All I need is You Lord
Is You Lord
Bridge:
Lead me to You
Forever, Lord, I will pursue
I will pursue
You've won my heart
Jesus, You're all that I want
All that I want
Outro:
Open my eyes
Let me know more of Your love
More of Your love
Here I will wait
Just for a glimpse of You, God
I'll wait for You, God

Meaning & Inspiration
“Pursue – All I Need Is You” expresses surrender as an active desire for the presence of Jesus. The opening lines move from beholding the King to lifted hands and a bowed life, presenting worship as both affection and submission. Grace draws the singer near, while trust in God supplies courage to persevere through hardship and to follow where he leads.
The chorus asks for greater knowledge of God rather than comfort or achievement. That longing develops in the bridge, where pursuing Jesus becomes a lifelong commitment grounded in the conviction that he has won the singer’s heart. The repeated declaration that the Lord is all that is needed strips the prayer down to its central devotion. Its closing request for opened eyes and a glimpse of divine love recalls biblical prayers for spiritual understanding. Across each section, dependence, patience, and surrender define a song focused on remaining near to God and seeking more of his presence.
