Lyrics
Give me you everything else can wait
Give me you I hope I'm not too late,
Lord give me you, Lord give me you
Lord give me you, Lord give me you
It's me Oh Lord I'm on my knees crying out to you
It's me oh Lord I'm on my knees
Give me you, give me you.

Meaning & Inspiration
The song is a concise prayer of surrender. It repeatedly places the Lord above everything else that might claim attention, turning a simple request into a statement of priority. The singer’s posture on bent knees adds humility and urgency, while the fear of being too late suggests a desire to return to God without delay. Very little narrative is needed because the repeated petition carries the central confession.
Because the lyric uses few words, its meaning depends on repetition rather than detailed storytelling. Each return to the request narrows the focus and rejects distraction. The result is worship centered on longing for God himself, not merely for what he can provide. Prayer appears as direct, dependent, and wholly oriented toward divine presence. The kneeling image also connects desire with submission, presenting worship as both an inward hunger for God and an outward posture of reverence before the Lord.
