Give me you
Everything else can wait
Just give me you
I hope I'm not too late

It's me oh, Lord
I'm on my knees
Crying out to you
It's me oh, Lord

So give me you
Give me you

Meaning & Inspiration
Give Me You is a prayer of undivided desire for God. Its central refrain places every competing concern in a secondary position, expressing that fellowship with the Lord matters more than anything that can wait. The repeated appeal is simple, but the verses give it a posture: the singer is on her knees, crying out in dependence. That image makes the song less about obtaining a particular blessing and more about seeking God himself. Repetition reinforces persistence, humility, and spiritual hunger.
The theme closely reflects Psalm 27:4, where the psalmist names one primary request: to dwell in the presence of the Lord and behold his beauty. The kneeling prayer also recalls Ephesians 3:14, in which Paul bows before the Father. By narrowing its request to God alone, the song presents worship as surrender of distractions and priorities. Its language gives voice to a longing for nearness, while the fear of being too late adds urgency without displacing the confidence expressed through continued prayer.
