From the recording My All
Lyrics
[Verse 1]
At Seventeen, she had her life mapped out
But two pink lines left that in doubt
Chose his heartbeat over her own plans
She would raise him the best she can
The world might say that she lost her way
Heaven knows she traded her life
Now he's all grown up and she knew
She'd given him love and sacrifice
She said
[Chorus]
My all
My all
Seems small but it's true
My all
My all
I gave it all for you
[Verse 2]
That young man, he looked into his girl’s eyes
Said I don’t have much
Just an old rickety front porch
And worn-out pickup truck
But as I hold you close
I know I’ll never be the same
If I started my life all over
I’d choose you again
He said
[Chorus]
My all
My all
Might seem small but it's true
My all
My all
I give it all to you
[Verse 3]
The Years passed, standing brave and true
Looked on his wife's sweet face
As she held their baby boy
He would always keep them safe
So when the hard times came
And the battle call went out
He gave to them and his country
What his life had been all about
[Bridge]
And when he fell in the dust
With the fight now done
Angels came from above
To the broken son
Jesus reached for his soul
Where death's shadows roam
with nail scarred hands, he said
Son your finally now home
[Chorus]
My all
My all
IMay seem small but it's true
My all
My all
I laid it down for you
My all
My all
From my loving heart
My all
My all
I gave my life for your dark
