The One, The Only

Be Your Everything
by Big Daddy Weave
lyrics from here

When you're lost and all alone

I will be your sure way home
When you're left out in the cold
I will be your shelter from the storm

When you're clouded by your doubt
When you're surrounded and there's no other way out
I will be all that you need
And I'm here for the asking

Let me be your everything
Let me be your everything
Look at all that I will bring
In exchange for what you have
Let me be your everything

When you're wanderin' in the darkness
I will be the light that guides you
And when death is standin' at your doorway
I will be the life inside you

When you face your deepest fears
When you can't see through all the tears
I will stay year after year
So patiently waitin', hear me say

Let me be your everything
Let me be your everything
Look at all that I will bring
In exchange for what you have

So bring your sorrow, bring your shame
All your sufferin' and your pain
Don't you know the price is paid
If only you'll let me be

Neither height nor depth, nor life nor death
The angels above or the demons beneath the sea
Could ever separate you from the love in me
So won't you

Let me be your everything
Let me be your everything
Look at all that I will bring
In exchange for what you have

So bring your sorrow, bring your shame
All your sufferin' and your pain
Don't you know the price is paid

If only you'll let me be

If only you'll let me be
Let me be your everything
Your everything



My Soul Waits for God Alone
Psalm 62 (A Psalm of David)
cross-references here

For God alone my soul waits in silence;

from Him comes my salvation.

He only is my rock and my salvation, my fortress;
I shall not be greatly shaken.


How long will all of you attack a man to batter him,
like a leaning wall, a tottering fence?

They only plan to thrust him down from his high position.
They take pleasure in falsehood.

They bless with their mouths, but inwardly they curse.

For God alone, O my soul, wait in silence,
for my hope is from Him.

He only is my rock and my salvation, my fortress;
I shall not be shaken.

On God rests my salvation and my glory;
my mighty rock, my refuge is God.


Trust in him at all times, O people;
pour out your heart before him;

God is a refuge for us.


Those of low estate are but a breath;
those of high estate are a delusion;

in the balances they go up;
they are together lighter than a breath.


Put no trust in extortion;
set no vain hopes on robbery;

if riches increase, set not your heart on them.


Once God has spoken; twice have I heard this
that power belongs to God,
and that to You, O Lord, belongs steadfast love.


For you will render to a man according to his work.
