Lyrics
Verse 1
We have tried to make You small
To fit inside these narrow walls
We have built all these rooms
But You just keep expanding
We have fought with so much fight
We have held on, knuckles white
Well, thank God, that You eclipse
All our shallow understanding
Chorus
Deeper than deep
Brighter than bright
More than our words could ever do to describe
Truer than true
Purer than pure
You're everything and still You are more
Post-Chorus
Everything and more
Everything and more
Verse 2
What a thrill, letting go
To admit what we don't know
Take a breath, open your hands
We are just beginning
Chorus
Deeper than deep
Brighter than bright
More than our words could ever do to describe
Truer than true
Purer than pure
You're everything and still You are more
Post-Chorus
Everything and more
(Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah)
(Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah)
Bridge
More than we ever thought
We couldn't dream it up
We'll spend forever with You
Won't find the edges of You
You're our eternity
Infinite destiny
Go on forever with You
Won't find the edges of You
Chorus
Deeper than deep
Brighter than bright
More than our words could ever do to describe
Truer than true
Purer than pure
You're everything and still You are more
Post-Chorus
Everything and more
(Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah)
You're everything and more
(Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah)
Everything and more
(Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah)
Everything and more
(Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah)
Everything and more
Outro
(Everything and more)
(Everything and more)
(Everything and more)
Don't be so intense!

Meaning & Inspiration
"Everything and More" confronts the habit of reducing God to ideas that fit human limits. Images of narrow walls, constructed rooms, and tightly held hands portray the desire to control what cannot be contained. The chorus responds with comparisons that repeatedly exceed language, presenting God as truer, purer, and greater than any description. Letting go becomes an act of humility rather than defeat, because wonder begins where complete understanding ends.
The theme closely parallels Isaiah 55:8-9, where divine thoughts and ways rise beyond human thoughts and ways. It also recalls the prayer in Ephesians 3:18-19 to know the love of Christ that surpasses knowledge. The bridge extends this sense of awe into eternity: no boundary or final edge can be found in God. Through its recurring contrasts between limited perception and infinite glory, the song treats worship as an open-handed response to mystery, marked by gratitude, delight, and an expectation of endless discovery.
