You are everything

hey guys,

So a song that's been stuck in my head for a while is--You Are Everything by Matthew West. I've recently found out about this artist, and he's really great.

Here are the lyrics:

Matthew West
You Are Everything

I'm the one with two left feet
Standing on a lonely street
I can't even walk a straight line
And every time you look at me
I'm spinning like an autumn leaf
Bound to hit bottom sometime

Where would I be without someone to save me
Someone who won't let me fall
You are everything that I live for
Everything that I can't believe is happening
You're standing right in front of me
With arms wide open
All I know is
Every day is filled with hope

You are everything that I believe for
And I can't help but breathe you in
Breathe again
Feeling all this life within
Every single beat of my heart
I'm the one with big mistakes
Big regrets and bigger breaks
Than I ever care to confess
Oh but, You're the one who looks at me
And sees what I was meant to be
More than just a beautiful mess

Where would I be without someone to save me
Someone who won't let me fall
You are everything that I live for
Everything that I can't believe is happening
You're standing right in front of me
With arms wide open
All I know is
Every day is filled with hope
You are everything that I believe for
And I can't help but breathe you in
Breathe again

Feeling all this life within
Every single beat of my heart
You're everything good in my life
Everything honest and true
And all of those stars hanging up in the sky
Could never shine brighter than You
You are everything that I live for
Everything that I can't believe is happening
You're standing right in front of me
With arms wide open
All I know is
Every day is filled with hope
You are everything that I believe for
And I can't help but breathe you in
Breathe again
Feeling all this life within
Every single beat of my heart
You are
You are
Jesus, You are

You are everything

The reason I really love this song a lot is because it reminds us that what we have with God is a relationship consisting of unconditional love. We often live our lives with 'two left feet' and often fall, but it is God who picks us back up. It is God who gives us a hand in times of trouble. It is God who trains us and equips us to become better people. However, we often neglect God's roles in our lives and try to find more material substitutes such as a 'best friend' or 'girl/boy-friends.' But, this song reminds us, in its own love-song lyrics, that our relationship with God is everlasting and that He promises to watch over us and has been doing so always.

So, I hope you find this song as touching and meaningful as I have found it.
