Lyrics
Verse 1
Take the lead of every step I make
Even if You tell my feet to wait
Cause where You is where I wanna be
The depth of me is calling for the deep
Chorus
I don't want it if You're not in it
I just want You
I don't want it if You're not in it
I just want You
Your heart, Your ways
Show me Your face
Your song, Your voice
Break through the noise
I don't want it if You're not in it
I just want You
I don't want it if You're not in it
I just want You God
Verse 2
Whisper to me secrets of Your heart
I want to discover all You are
I'm leaning into Heaven for a glimpse
And I will partner with Your presence here again
Chorus
I don't want it if You're not in it
I just want You
I don't want it if You're not in it
I just want You
Your heart, Your ways
Show me Your face
Your song, Your voice
Break through the noise
I don't want it if You're not in it
I just want You
I don't want it if You're not in it
I just want You God
Bridge
All that I see be my everything
All that I dream lay it at Your feet
All that I am falling on my knees
I surrender I surrender
All that I see be my everything
All that I dream lay it at Your feet
All that I am falling on my knees
I surrender I surrender
Chorus
I don't want it if You're not in it
I just want You
I don't want it if You're not in it
I just want You
Your heart, Your ways
Show me Your face
Your song, Your voice
Break through the noise
I don't want it if You're not in it
I just want You
I don't want it if You're not in it
I just want You God

Meaning & Inspiration
This worship song is about wanting God Himself more than anything He might give. The refrain "I don't want it if You're not in it" sets a clear priority, and "I just want You" is repeated until it reads as a settled choice rather than a passing mood.
The verses ask for guidance and closeness. The singer asks God to lead each step, even when that means waiting, and the line "The depth of me is calling for the deep" suggests a longing that only His presence can answer. A request to hear "secrets of Your heart" fits the biblical idea of friendship with God.
The bridge moves from desire to surrender, offering "All that I see" and "All that I dream" at His feet. Because the language is simple and the refrain returns often, the song suits extended times of congregational prayer.
