Jeremy Camp – Reckless Lyrics

Christian

Everytime I try to play it safe
Holding back just a little part of me
I find myself forgetting what
I say that I believe
The promise of Your Word
Is all I need
I'll lay my life down
And give it up
I'll give it up

[Chorus:]
I wanna be reckless
Cause You are endless
I wanna be shameless
And shout Your greatness
I will not be afraid
To surrender my way
And follow who You are
I wanna be reckless, reckless

I will lose my life
And just let go
Because I know this world is not my home
With fearless faith
I won't be moved
Unshakeable inside Your truth
You laid Your life down
And gave it up
So I'll give it up

[Chorus]

I won't waste any more time
My life's Yours it is not mine
Use me Lord no matter what's at stake

About This Song

"Reckless" is a passionate Christian rock anthem about abandoning personal safety and control to follow God with complete abandon and trust. The song explores the tension between playing it safe in faith versus surrendering everything to God's will, with Camp declaring his desire to be "reckless" and "shameless" in his devotion. Musically, it features driving guitars and an anthemic chorus that builds emotional intensity, characteristic of Camp's contemporary Christian rock style. The lyrics emphasize themes of radical discipleship, vulnerability, and the paradox that true life comes through losing oneself in service to God. The song resonates with believers seeking to move beyond comfortable, half-hearted faith toward total commitment, making it a powerful worship anthem about spiritual courage and surrender.
