Everything

My friend Keri and I were studying tonight and I had my music playing. She mentioned a few days ago that she loves Lifehouse so I clicked on them tonight. She told me a story about how in high school she would fall asleep listening to this song over and over. I started listening to it like I do most songs. Just listening to the music and not paying attention to the lyrics. Keri told me to pay attention to the lyrics, so I restarted the song. This is what I heard.

 

Everything by 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.

 

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? 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?

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, you're 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?

And how can I stand here with you and not be moved by you?

Would you tell me how could it be any better, 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?

 

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

 

 

When I was sitting there listening to the words all I could think of was God. I don't know if the singer for Lifehouse was singing about a physical person and the love he had for this particular girl, but I couldn't visualize that for me. I've never had the type of love for someone that is sung in this song. The love God has shown me is the only love I know and am beginning to understand it. I don't know what you think of when you read these words, but if you are a Christian or even if you aren't I think this is a very good description of the love God has for us!

 

p.s. Thank you Keri for making me listen to this song!
