Take Lyrics by Skillet

Hey You, I Love Your Soul

1998

[Verse 1]
Take my strength, take my pride
Take my selfishness away
Take my rights, take ambition
Capture me, make me a slave
Break the walls, break my bones
Break my hardened heat
Rip my rule, rip my will
Rip in-dependency apart

[Verse 2]
Breathe Your life
Breathe Your love
Breathe You breath and I'm sustained
Take my hate, take my hurt
Express healing to my pain
Take my flesh in all its arrogance, my stability away
Take my life, bring fire, till only You remain

[Chorus]
Laid out on my face (yea)
My tongue hanging out to taste (yea)
Of You and Your death (yea)
And to know Your name (yea)

[Verse 2]
Accept my gifts, take my crowns
I spread them at your feet
When I bleed, I bleed with joy as I taste Your suffering
Flood life, flood peace, speak acceptance to my shame
Allow to kneel, allow to praise
Give the right to speak Your name

[Chorus]
Laid out on my face (yea)
My tongue hanging out to taste (yea)
Of You and Your death (yea)
And to know Your name (yea)

[Chorus]
Laid out on my face (yea)
My tongue hanging out to taste (yea)
Of You and Your death (yea)
And to know Your name (yea)

[Outro]
Laid out on my face
Wanting to know your name
Laid out on my face
Wanting to know your name, yeah
