The prelude to this song is ‘35.8438, -86.4518’ which are the coordinates to Colton’s old town where he was raised.
Colton says in this song that we are too caught up in the things of this world. Wether it be our jobs, technology, even family, but there is so little God in us. We need to empty ours...
[Verse 1]
I made my castle tall
I built up every wall
This is my kingdom and it needs to fall (Fall)
I want you and no one else
Empty me of myself (Myself)
Until the only thing that's left is
[Chorus]
More of you, less of me
Make me who I'm meant to be
You're all I want, all I need
You're everything
Take it all, I surrender
Be my king
God I choose
More of you, less of me
I need more of you
More of you
[Verse 2]
This life I hold so close
Oh God, I let it go
I refuse to gain the world and lose my soul (Soul)
So take it all, I abandon
Everything I am, you can have it (Have it)
The only thing I need is
[Chorus]
More of you, less of me
Make me who I'm meant to be
You're all I want, all I need
You're everything (You're everything)
Take it all, I surrender
Be my king
God I choose
More of you, less of me
I need more of you
More of you
I need more of you
More of you
[Bridge]
All to you, I surrender
All to you, my blessed Savior
I surrender all (All)
All to you, I surrender
All to you, my blessed Savior
I surrender all (All)
[Chorus]
More of you, less of me
Make me who I'm meant to be
You're all I want, all I need
You're everything (You're everything)
Take it all, I surrender
Be my king
God I choose
More of you, less of me
[Outro]
I need more of you
More of you
I need more of you
(All to you, I surrender, all to you, my blessed Savior)
More of you
More of you
More of you
I need more of you

Matthew 16:26 (NIV): What good will it be for someone to gain the whole world, yet forfeit their soul? Or what can anyone give in exchange for their soul?

A fun fact from the writing side is that this was the last song we wrote for the album. I went into the studio and the guys I was writing with said it was the last day to get whatever we hadn’t said out on the table. I remember thinking “what is that?” I started going through my notes from Winter Ja...
