Everything

A friend told me about this sketch, but I couldn't find the video until it finally showed up on GodTube. Watch the video, read the lyrics, and then I have one final comment.


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

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?

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?
(repeat)

Cause you're all I want
You're all I need
You're everything, everything

When I was in college I roomed with a guy who had a similar heart to mine. We wrote songs together and played in a band together. He went on, in fact, to become a songwriter in Nashville and has penned at least one Number One hit. He once wrote a snatch of lyric to a song he called "Blow Your Mind" that goes like this:

Take a step toward the Lord
That's all you have to do
It doesn't matter where you're at
He'll take a million steps
Just to get to you

Amen. And Amen.
