This is a song about salvation. When we choose to lay down our self-centredness and instead embrace Jesus and put him in control of our lives, we invite Him to take over.
As verse 2 expresses – it is more than saying ‘I love you’, it is more than words – it is a love that expresses itself through action, through a life layed down.

Taken Over
CCLI Number: 4449494
VERSE 1
It’s more than a love song that I sing
It’s more than a feeling deep within
It’s more than the sunrise in Your eyes
It’s more than everything
VERSE 2
It’s more than devotion ever true
It’s more than the words ‘I love You’
It’s more than the truth that’s in Your eyes
It’s more than everything
CHORUS
You have taken over
You are my true Saviour
You have taken over me
So completely
VERSE 3
It’s more than those words whispered at night
It’s more than the dreams that take to flight
It’s more than the love I have to gain
It’s more than everything
