Darlene Zhchech - To You Lyrics
Lyrics
Here I stand forever in
Your mighty hand
Living with Your promise
Written on my heart
I am Yours
Surrendered wholly to You
You set me in Your family
Calling me Your own
Now I
I belong to You
Lord I need
Your Spirit Your word Your truth
Hear my cry my deep desire
To Know You more
In Your name
I will lift my hands
To the King
This anthem of praise I bring
Heaven knows
I long to love You
With all I am
I belong to You

Meaning & Inspiration
Darlene Zschech's "To You," released on September 5, 2011, as part of the *You Are Love (Deluxe Edition)* album, stands as a profound declaration of surrendered devotion, echoing the Psalmist's cry, "My heart pants for you, O God, as the deer pants for streams of water" (Psalm 42:1, NIV). This song isn't merely a collection of notes; it's a spiritual offering, a musical testament to the overwhelming desire for intimacy with the divine. The narrative woven within "To You" speaks to a deep longing for God's presence, a recognition that true fulfillment and purpose are found not in earthly pursuits, but in a complete yielding of one's life to the Creator. It captures the essence of John 15:5, where Jesus declares, "I am the vine; you are the branches. If you remain in me and I in you, you will bear much fruit; apart from me you can do nothing." Zschech's masterful articulation of this sentiment invites listeners into a space of profound worship, where the individual soul pours out its adoration, acknowledging that all strength, all love, and all life originate from God. The song’s message is a powerful reminder of the biblical mandate to love the Lord our God with all our heart, soul, mind, and strength (Mark 12:30), a sentiment that permeates every aspect of this beautiful piece. It’s a call to abandon self-sufficiency and embrace the liberating truth found in Proverbs 3:5-6: "Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways submit to him, and he will make your paths straight." "To You" serves as a beautifully crafted invitation to embrace this radical trust and find complete rest in the loving embrace of God.
