Lyrics

To You, I give everything
To You, I give everything
Jesus to You

I give everything


Jesus, Jesus my reward
Help me guard this flame of mine
When my flesh is waging war
In Your shadow I abide


Set my eyes on things above
Turn away from things of Earth
Nothing that I’ve ever loved
Can compare to what You’re worth


To You, I give everything
My affection and my praise
Let my love for You remain


To You, I owe everything
Every moment, every breath
All my life and nothing less


My life and nothing less
Have it all


Jesus, Jesus Son of Man
Mercy is Your heart’s delight
The proof is in Your nailed scarred hands
For the ones You love, You gave Your life (Help me sing)


To You, I give everything
My affection and my praise
Let my love for You remain


To You, I owe everything (Yeah)
Every moment every breath

All my life and nothing less


My life
All my life and nothing less
Let’s testify


When I thought my life was over
I came running to Your feet
And I laid it at the altar
You became my everything


And You led me to repentance
Now it’s all so clear to me
Every idol I created
Has to fall on bended knee


Now I give all my devotion
May my incense never cease
To the Lamb who came and bled
And died and rose again for me


I pledge all my allegiance
To the Son of Suffering
To the One who paid it all
To the Only King of Kings


To You, I give everything (Yeah)
My affection and my praise
Let my love for You remain


To You, I owe everything (Everything I have)
Every moment every breath

All my life and nothing less


Whoa, all my life and nothing less
My life and nothing less
You can have it all
Have it all
Have it all


Now I give all my devotion
May my incense never cease
To the Lamb who came and bled
And died and rose again for me


I pledge all my allegiance
To the Son of Suffering
To the One who paid it all
To the Only King of Kings


To You, I give everything (Sing it)
My affection and my praise
Let my love for You remain


To You, I owe everything
Every moment every breath
All my life and nothing less


I give it all today (I give it all today)
He wants it all today (He wants it all today)
Oh, He wants it all
He can have it all (He can have it all)


I pledge all of my allegiance to the Son of Suffering (Come on, come on)


One more time
To You


To You, I give everything
My affection and my praise
Let my love for You remain


To You, I owe everything
Every moment every breath (Every moment)
All my life and nothing less (Sing it again)
To You, I give everything
My affection and my praise
Let my love for You remain (I present my life as a living sacrifice to You)


To You, I owe everything (I owe everything)
Every moment every breath
All my life and nothing less


I wanna be a living sacrifice
Holy and pleasing
A living sacrifice
Holy and pleasing


To You, I give everything
My affection and my praise
Let my love for You remain


To You, I owe everything
Every moment every breath
All my life and nothing less


I wanna be a living sacrifice
Holy and pleasing
A living sacrifice (Yeah)
Holy and pleasing

Meaning & Inspiration

This song, "To You," is a raw and honest declaration of surrender. The repeated line "I give everything" isn't just a phrase—it's a life posture. The lyrics acknowledge the fight: "When my flesh is waging war," yet they root the response in abiding in God's shadow. That tension is real, and the song doesn't dismiss it.

What stands out is the motivation behind the surrender. It's not a forced duty, but a response to Jesus's mercy and sacrifice. The line "The proof is in Your nailed scarred hands" grounds worship in the gospel. He gave His life, so we give ours back—not as a transaction, but as love.

The bridge moves from theory to testimony: “Every idol I created has to fall on bended knee.” Repentance isn't abstract; it's laying everything on the altar. And the final call to be “a living sacrifice, holy and pleasing” echoes Romans 12:1.
