Lyrics
Verse 1:
For the prayers that you have answered,
For the mountains, you have moved,
For the questions you have settled, Lord,
It’s the least that I can do
To serve you with my whole heart and though I can’t repay the debt of love I owe you,
I’ll try to anyway…
Chorus:
I owe you everything.
I owe you all of me.
My life, my breath, my praise, my worship,
I give it as an offering.
Oh, I could never do enough,
In exchange for all, you’ve done.
You have made me something out of nothing
I owe you everything.
Verse 2:
When I pray in expectation,
And your answer is to wait.
Helping me to be more patient, Lord,
And trust in you by faith.
I know that you are working, your purpose for my good.
And those long-awaited blessings remind me as they should…
I owe you everything.
I owe you all of me.
My life, my breath, my praise, my worship,
I give it as an offering.
Oh, I could never do enough,
In exchange for all, you’ve done.
You have made me something out of nothing…
I owe you everything.
Bridge:
Should I lose all my possessions,
And my world come tumblin’ down.
My soul is save in you and I know without a doubt…
I owe you everything.
I owe you all of me.
My life, my breath, my praise, my worship,
I give it as an offering.
Oh, I could never do enough,
In exchange for all, you’ve done.
You have made me something out of nothing…
I owe you everything.
Oh, I could never do enough,
In exchange for all, you’ve done
You have made me something out of nothing.
Oh, you have made me something out of nothing.
I owe you everything…

Meaning & Inspiration
“I Owe You Everything” frames worship as grateful surrender in response to God’s care. Answered prayer, removed obstacles, and settled questions lead to service, yet the lyric also recognizes that divine love cannot be repaid as a simple debt. Life, breath, praise, and worship are therefore offered together, making devotion an expression of gratitude rather than an attempt to earn favor.
The second verse adds patience to that gratitude. Delayed answers become an occasion to trust that God is still working for good, even when the outcome remains unseen. That confidence is tested further in the bridge, where possessions may disappear and the world may collapse, but safety of soul remains grounded in God. The language of offering closely echoes Paul’s appeal for a life presented to God, while the emphasis on faithful purpose recalls Romans 8. Repetition of the title gathers every circumstance into one response: complete dependence and praise.
