Where there is Christ
There is hope
Where there is hope
There's more to be written
My days unfold
Touched by Your grace
I need You God
On every page

So let this be my life
Be my all in all

Start with Jesus
And stay with Jesus
No matter the storm
No matter what comes
You'll always be more than enough
So stay with Jesus

Where there is hurt
There is healing
Where there is pain
I feel Your heart beating
Where there's an end
There's a new beginning
So send me out
A light in the city, so be with me

Start with Jesus
And stay with Jesus
No matter the storm
No matter what comes
You'll always be more than enough
Always Jesus

Meaning & Inspiration
The song frames a life of faith as a story whose every page depends on Christ. Hope, grace, healing, and new beginnings appear as signs of his sustaining presence rather than as freedom from hardship. The request for Jesus to be “all in all” gives the verses a clear center, while the repeated call to start and stay with him expresses constancy through storms and changing circumstances.
Its later sections widen that confession into vocation and endurance. The image of being sent as a light in the city recalls Christ’s teaching about visible discipleship, yet the song keeps service rooted in dependence on Jesus. Trials, tears, passing years, and death are named without becoming the final word. By repeating “Always Jesus,” the bridge joins present struggle to eternal hope. The ending does not offer an abstract answer to suffering; it rests in the person of Christ as sufficient through earthly life and beyond it.
