"With Everything" Lyrics:
Open our hearts,
To see the things
That make Your heart cry,
To be the church
The You would desire.
Light to be seen.
Break down our pride,
And all the walls
We've built up inside,
Our earthly crowns
And all our desires,
We lay at Your feet.
So let hope rise,
And darkness tremble
In Your holy light,
And every eye will see
Jesus, our God,
Great and mighty to be praised.
God of all days,
Glorious in all of Your ways.
Your majesty, the wonder and grace,
In the light of Your name.
With everything,
With everything,
We will shout for your glory.
With everything,
With everything,
We will shout forth your praise.
Our hearts will cry
Be glorified,
Be lifted high,
Above all names.
For You our King,
With everything,
We will shout forth your praise.
Reflection:
How often do we see with the eyes
of faith? This is the continuous
struggle we have throughout our life.
Whether it’s a particular sin we struggle with, or getting along with
people at work or school, or even wondering where God is during a difficult time,
we can forget to see with the eyes of faith.
When that happens, things can look really bleak and we can feel
alone. But with the eyes of faith, we
know we are never alone. This song is a
plea to God to open those eyes; to see how God sees and to love how God loves. This is the goal of the Christian life. Once God begins to reign in our hearts, then
our eyes are open and we become the church, the people, which he desires.
Hebrews 11:1 – “Faith is the
realization of what is hoped for and evidence of things not seen.”
2 Corinthians 5:7 – “For we walk
by faith, not by sight.”
Acts 26:18 – “To open their eyes
that they may turn from darkness to light and from the power of Satan to God,
so that they may obtain forgiveness of sins and an inheritance among those who
have been consecrated by faith in me.”
