Declaration Of Dependence - Steven Curtis Chapman

Now just the other day I overheard a flower talking to the sky

He said, «You know that I would be nothing without you»

He said, «You give me rain you give the sun a place to shine

You’re everything that my whole existence comes down to»

And then the flower started singing a song

Before I knew it I was singing along and we sang

«This is my declaration of dependence

This is my declaration of my need

This is my declaration of dependence

On the one who gave His life to me»

Now, let me say that I’m the kind of guy who wants to do it all myself

Don’t want to ask for help, don’t like to stop for directions

But in reality I’m nothing on my own

It’s by Gods grace alone that I can make this confession

All that I am and all I’m hoping to be

Is all and only what He’s given to me so I say

«This is my declaration of dependence

This is my declaration of my need

This is my declaration of dependence

On the one who gave His life to me, yeah, yeah, yeah»

And I know this is how my life was meant to be

I was made for this dependency on the one who has created me

So I’ll sing my declaration song for the one I am depending on

And I hope you’ll sing along

This is my declaration of dependence

This is my declaration of my need

This is my declaration of dependence

On the one who gave His life to me, yeah, yeah, yeah

This is my declaration

This is my declaration of dependence

This is my declaration of my need

This is my declaration of dependence

On the one who gave His life to me

This is my declaration of dependence

This is my declaration

This is my declaration of dependence

This is my declaration

This is my declaration of dependence

This is my declaration

This is my declaration of dependence

My declaration of my name
