I Search For You On The Horizon

Declaration of Dependence

This is a cute and bouncy song by Steven Curtis Chapman about our dependence on God. I love how he uses illustrations with some of his best songs, which is evident in this one.

"Declaration of Dependence" by Steven Curtis Chapman

Declaration of Dependence
by 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
Oh, oh
He said, you give me rain
You give the sun a place to shine
You're everything that my
Whole existence comes down to
Oh, oh

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 this life to me

Now, let me say that I'm the kind of guy
Who wants to do it all myself
Don't wanna ask for help
Don't like to stop for directions
Oh, oh
But in reality, I'm nothing on my own
It's by God's Grace alone
that I can make this confession
Woah

All that I am and all I'm hoping to be
Is all and only what He's given to me

So I'll 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 this life to me
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 this life to me
Yeah, yeah, yeah

This is my declaration
Woah, yeah

This is my declaration of dependence
This is my declaration of my need
This is my declaration of dependence
On the One who gave this life to me

This is my declaration of dependence
This is my declaration (My declaration)
This is my declaration of dependence
This is my declaration (My declaration of dependence on Jesus)
This is my declaration of dependence
This is my declaration (My declaration)
My declaration (My declaration of my need)
