Written by Zion Rempel
INTRO
VERSE 1
I’ve followed rivers and roads in search of something
And tried to win man’s awards and felt nothing
I've watched my bank accounts and fame
Become a chase to catch the wind
And every river and road led back to You
PRECHORUS 1:
Lord make my prayer evermore the same
To lay down my idols
And keep my gaze upon your face
CHORUS 1
May it be Jesus
May it be Jesus
I only want Jesus
Always
INTERLUDE
VERSE 2
I’ve marveled skies upon the dawn in the distance
Only to see it fade to dark in an instant
And through the night you’ll always be
The constant flame alight in me
And I’ll watch the joy of my salvation see me through
PRECHORUS 1
PRECHORUS 2:
Lord make my prayer evermore the same
To lay down my idols
And to never look away
CHORUS 1
VERSE 3
And when my eyes fail to see the love that holds me
And I chase the world's applause to stop the hurting
Give me strength to breathe and pray
Pause the noise to hear me say
That every river and road leads back to you
CHORUS 1
CHORUS 2
May it be Jesus
May it be Jesus
I only want Jesus
Always
CHORUS 2 Broken Down
