Casting Pearls Album: Casting Pearls Track: You Alone
You Alone Lyrics
I've come to Your throne here so cold and alone
I'm calling on Your name
I lift my hands to the sky open wide and I cry Lord take me away
Take this heavy heart and this weary soul and set them free
Remove myself till there's nothing left but You alone in me
I'm letting go of all that I know
I'm holding on to You alone
I lay it all down down here at Your feet
I want You alone You alone
If I go to the heavens above Lord I know You are there
If I make my bed in the depths Lord I know You are there
If I rise on the wings of the dawn or settle on the far side of the sea
Even still Lord I know You will, You will always be there with me

Behind the Song:
"It's one of my favorites on the record, mostly because my wife loves it. This is a true call of worship. A new believer comes to God by letting go of everything they once thought to be truth and holds on by faith to Christ alone. As a Christian I still often find myself crying out to God trying to hold on to Christ alone. He has filled my life with incredible blessings that I focus all my energy on while I'm slowly letting go my intimate walk with Christ. This song is a simple call of worship from a heart that desperately wants to hold on to Christ alone and to make Him the most important thing in life." - Bryan Olesen (Casting Pearls)
