The Praise Band is embarking on some new material for 2009, yay!
One of the new songs we're doing is Matthew West's "You Are Everything," which I heard for the first time today during Luke's 3rd Grade Chapelpalooza. I'm passing along the lyrics because I think it has a very positive message and certainly strikes a chord with me...."more than just a beautiful mess."
You Are Everything
Matthew West
Coming to a Praise Band Near You!
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
[Chorus]
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
'cause you are everything that I breathe for
And I can't help but breathe you in, and 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'd ever care to confess
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
[Chorus]
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
'cause you are everything that I breathe for
And I can't help but breathe you in, and breathe again
Feeling all this life within
Every single beat of my heart
[Bridge]
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
[Chorus]
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
'cause you are everything that I breathe for
And I can't help but breathe you in, and breathe again
Feeling all this life within
Every single beat of my heart
