everything

This is an old song that I first heard a couple years ago when I was dating an atheist. He was a huge Lifehouse fan and got me more into their music. One day we were talking about love songs and he said he couldn't stand this particular song because it was one of the "cheesiest" songs he'd ever heard.

Back then my relationship with the Creator wasn't the greatest and I didn't immediately realize that this song might not even be about a significant other, but might instead be about God. The ex-boyfriend's opinion of the song tainted my own and I tended to skip it whenever it played on my iPod.

It seems so obvious now that it's about God. It is no wonder the ex couldn't understand it. If the lyrics are applied to a signicant other, then yes, one may say it's a bit much (but still very sweet). If applied to God, however, the lyrics aren't even an adequate description of His power.

The love of a significant other could never compare to the love of God.

EVERYTHING by Lifehouse

Find me here
And 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 life
To my soul
You are my purpose
You're 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

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
Would You take me deeper, now

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
