Lyrics
Intro
(Spoken)
This song is called "Unscripted."
I’m just finally in a place in my life—and I could be by myself—where it doesn't matter what other people expect of me, and it doesn't matter what culture says I have to do. If it doesn't please the heart of God, I don't want any part in it. So I was sitting up one night doing some homework, and God dropped these lyrics in my spirit. Wanna share them tonight.
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
It's all about You
It's all about You
Ooh-ooh
Verse
I’m putting down the program
Ripping up the script
I’m turning off the stage lights
So I can see You clear
Don't wanna be important
In the eyes of man
I just want my heart to be steady
Steady on the Master's plan
Chorus
It's what You want for me
What You want from me
To know how Your heart beats
I want to know
And if it's victory
If it's suffering
I’m laying at Your feet
I'll be right here
It's what You want for me
What You want from me
To know how Your heart beats
I really want to know
And if it's victory
Even if it's suffering
I’m laying at Your feet
I'll be right here
Bridge
I let go of it all
For a lifetime with You
Not just a glimpse
The curtain removed
I let go of it all
For a lifetime with You
Not just a glimpse
The curtain removed
I let go of it all
For a lifetime with You
Not just a glimpse
The curtain removed
I let go of it all
For a lifetime with You
Not just a glimpse
The curtain removed
Vamp
Until all I see is You
The only One I please is You
Until all I see is You
The only One I please is You
Until all I see is You
The only One I please is You
Until all I see is You
The only One I please is You
Until all I see is You
The only One I please is You
Outro
I’m putting down the program
Ripping up the script
I’m turning off the stage lights
So I can see You clear

Meaning & Inspiration
Unscripted is a worship song about surrendering public approval, personal status, and predetermined plans in order to seek God’s will. Images of putting down a program, tearing up a script, and turning off stage lights contrast outward performance with clear attention to God. The repeated desire to know what God wants frames worship as obedience rather than recognition, while the promise to remain faithful in either victory or suffering gives that surrender practical weight.
The bridge extends the theme by exchanging temporary glimpses for lasting communion with God. Its language of laying everything down recalls biblical calls to offer an entire life to God and to value knowing Christ above former gains. The song does not present surrender as dependent on favorable circumstances; instead, it places both triumph and hardship at God’s feet. Through that focus, the lyrics become a prayer for undivided devotion, freedom from cultural expectations, and a life shaped by what pleases God.
