You’re Everything

Your love is ever there for me.
You unconditionally care for me
Despite my earthward tendencies.
You've always been a rock for me.
You move each stumbling block for me
Unphased by my dependency.

Sometimes I get swept away
And wrapped up in the day to day.
So I would like to take this moment
To praise You loud and clear!

CHORUS
You're everything:
In my heart, my head, my being.
Your Spirit is reality,
Where Truth will always be
You're everything:
Doesn't matter where I go
Or what I do, I'm still with You
And I'll always hear Your call.
You're all in all.

It's grace that I will surely find
When I hush my chattering mind
And listen for Your gentle voice.
It silences all pain and fear
Until Your wisdom is all I hear;
It guides me to the higher choice.

There's so much healing I can share
With those who need to know You care.
Enable me to lift them up
The way You've lifted me.

CHORUS
You're everything:
In my heart, my head, my being.
Your Spirit is reality,
Where Truth will always be
You're everything:
Doesn't matter where I go
Or what I do, I'm still with You
And I'll always hear Your call.
You're all in all.

You are all in all
You're everything to me
You won't let me fall
Because You're all in all

4 . . . I bare you on eagles’ wings, and brought you unto myself.
