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
