Lyrics
Chorus
I will put you in front
In front of my melody
You're all that matters
You're all that matters
I'll make room for two
You and I Jesus
You're all that matters
You're all that matters
Post-Chorus
Owei Owei (Yes, Yes)
You're all that matters
Owei Owei (Yes, Yes)
You're all that matters
Owei Owei (Yes, Yes)
You're all that matters
Owei Owei (Yes, Yes)
Verse 1
What would I live for
If I don't have You in my life?
What would I gain
If You take the holy ghost?
What would have become of me
If I didn't see your light?
What would have been said of me
If you didn't hold my hands?
Bridge
Now I've come to realize
That you are all I have
You're all that matters
You're all that matters
Chorus
I will put you in front
In front of my melody
You're all that matters
You're all that matters
I'll make room for two
You and I Jesus
You're all that matters
You're all that matters
Verse 2
Is it the cars or is it the house?
I'll give them all to you
Is it the name or is it the fame?
I'm nothing without you
What would have become of me?
If I didn't see your light
What would have been said of me
If you didn't hold my hands?
Now I've come to realize
That you are all I have
You're all that matters
You're all that matters
Chorus
I will put you in front
In front of my melody
You're all that matters
You're all that matters
I'll make room for two
You and I Jesus
You're all that matters
You're all that matters
Outro
Owei Owei(Yes, Yes)
You're all that matters
Owei Owei
You're all that matters
Owei Owei
You're all that matters
Owei Owei
You're all that matters
Owei Owei
You're all that matters

Meaning & Inspiration
The lyrics are a declaration of priority. The speaker promises to put Jesus "in front of my melody" and to make room for two, "You and I Jesus," repeating "You're all that matters" as the fixed anchor of the song. A call-and-response section, "Owei Owei (Yes, Yes)," answers each statement with agreement.
The verses turn to questions about life without God: what the speaker would live for, what would be gained if the Holy Spirit were taken away, and what would have become of the speaker without His light and His hold on their hands. A later verse weighs "the cars," "the house," "the name," and "the fame" against Jesus, offers them all to Him, and concludes "I'm nothing without you."
This contrast between possessions and devotion resembles Jesus' teaching in Matthew 6:33 and Paul's statement in Philippians 3:8, though the song does not quote either passage directly.
