Meaning & Inspiration
To You is a prayer of surrender and belonging. The first verse describes standing forever in God's mighty hand and living with His promise written on the heart. The second verse declares "I am Yours," surrendered wholly, set in His family and called His own. A short section says the singer belongs to Him and asks for His Spirit, His word and His truth, and cries out to know Him more.
The chorus promises to lift hands in His name and bring an anthem of praise to the King, saying that heaven knows the singer longs to love Him with all that he or she is. The themes follow John 10:28-29 on being held in His hand, Ephesians 1:5 on adoption into His family, and Philippians 3:10 on the desire to know Him. The slow build and personal wording give the song an intimate, devoted tone suited to a quiet moment of worship in a congregation.
