Chris Tomlin - All in All Lyrics

All in All gathers several biblical images into a direct confession of trust in Jesus. He is praised as worthy and holy, then described as living water, enduring love, light in darkness, hope in conflict, and the song that continues through every circumstance. The repeated question about life without his love underscores dependence rather than self-sufficiency, while the request for mercy keeps the worship rooted in grace.

The chorus presents Christ as the steady answer to varied forms of need. Water answers spiritual thirst, strong hands suggest security, calm meets turmoil, and light overcomes darkness. These phrases closely echo scriptural descriptions of God’s sustaining presence and Christ’s victory. The title phrase, “all in all,” gathers the images into one claim: every source of hope named in the song is found in him. As the lyric moves from need to praise, it portrays worship as confidence in Christ’s character, mercy, and faithful love.
