Making You My Everything

God in my living
There in my breathing
God in my waking
God in my sleeping

God in my resting
There in my working
God in my thinking
God in my speaking

Be my everything
Be my everything
Be my everything
Be my everything

God in my hoping
There in my dreaming
God in my watching
God in my waiting

God in my laughing
There in my weeping
God in my hurting
God in my healing

Christ in me
Christ in me
Christ in me the hope of glory
You are everything

Christ in me
Christ in me
Christ in me the hope of glory
Be my everything



This song speaks for itself: I want God to be a part of everything I do. I want Him to be everything. I especially want Him to be in my thinking and speaking. I think about a lot of things, but they don't always involve God. Although people can't know all my thoughts they can hear what I say, and what I say is often a reflection of what I think. I need to be focused on God so that when I speak, it will be evident to others where the words come from: a mind and a heart centered on Christ. This doesn't mean that every other word will involve God's name, it just means that I'll make sure my speech represents me well in the light of Christ.

It's not about me.

John 3:30 (New International Version)

30He must become greater; I must become less.

John 3:30 (The Message)

29-30"That's why my cup is running over. This is the assigned moment for him to move into the center, while I slip off to the sidelines.
