Everything

One of the songs that's really helped me to define my faith is the song "Everything" by Lifehouse. When looking at the lyrics to this song it really puts it's simple: "you're all i want, you're all i need. You're everything." As i listened to this song i began to realize what all those other songs I sang in church really meant. In Church you sing many songs that have to do with making God vital to life. You sing about Him being the air that you breath, the rock you stand on, the name above any other name. But simply put all those songs boil down to this one point and that is that God is your everything.

There's a skit (see youtube video below) that paints a beautiful picture of what everything really means. In this skip you see God, creating man, and then the fall of man, yet in the end you see Jesus taking up the sins of man to save him/her from hell. And isn't that all of our story? Created by God, fall into sin, and saved by grace through faith. I think when you look at this skit there isn't any part of it that you, nor I cannot relate to. We've all been tempted by the pull of sin, but in the end it is Jesus who is victorious over sin and we can live in harmony with Him.

At the end of the song you hear the line "would you tell me how could it be any better than this" and how true that statement is, how could it be any better than being with Christ?

I hope that if you take anything from this little blip it's this: make Jesus your everything.




Everything - Lifehouse
Find Me Here
Speak To Me
I want to feel you
I need to hear you
You are the light
That's leading me
To the place where I find peace again.

You are the strength, that keeps me walking.
You are the hope, that keeps me trusting.
You are the light to my soul.
You are my purpose...you're everything.

How can I stand here with you and not be moved by you?
Would you tell me how could it be any better than this?

You calm the storms, and you give me rest.
You hold me in your hands, you won't let me fall.
You steal my heart, and you take my breath away.
Would you take me in? Take me deeper now?

How can I stand here with you and not be moved by you?
Would you tell me how could it be any better than this?
And how can I stand here with you and not be moved by you?
Would you tell me how could it be any better than this?

Cause you're all I want, You're all I need
You're everything,everything
You're all I want your all I need
You're everything, everything.
You're all I want you're all I need.
You're everything, everything
You're all I want you're all I need, you're everything, everything.

And How can I stand here with you and not be moved by you?
Would you tell me how could it be any better than this?
How can I stand here with you and not be moved by you?
Would you tell me how could it be any better than this?

How can I stand here with you and not be moved by you?
Would you tell me how could it be any better than this?

Would you tell me how could it be any better than this?
