Fresh Start Worship - Have It All Lyrics
Lyrics
Beautiful and for our sins
You traded it for my guilt
You've given me life within
You gave beauty for ashes
You gave it all for me
Love greater than my sin
You reached down and rescued me
You traded beauty for ashes
All You've done and all You gave
Did it just for me
And all I have and all that I am
I give it back to thee
Have it all, have it all
Have it all, have it all
Have it all
To take away all my shame
To rid me of all my past
Just to be one with You
You traded beauty for ashes
I don't deserve Your love
But You picked me up anyway
You seated me in Your place
Traded beauty for ashes
All You've done and all You gave
Did it just for me
And all I have and all that I am
I give it back to thee
Have it all, have it all
Have it all, have it all
Have it all
Take me make me
And Have it all
Shape me mould me
Have it all
Take me make me
Have it all
Shape me mould me
Have it all
Have it all, have it all
Have it all, have it all
Have it all

FreshStart Worship Feat. Sarai - Have It All
Meaning & Inspiration
FreshStart Worship's "Have It All," featuring Sarai and released on September 8, 2018, is a powerful anthem of surrender and total devotion. The song delves into the profound truth of what Christ's sacrifice means for believers, shifting the focus from our own inadequacy to His boundless grace and redemptive work. At its core, "Have It All" is a response to the overwhelming love and transformation God has initiated. The lyrics express a deep understanding of the spiritual exchange that occurred on the cross: our sin and guilt were traded for His righteousness and life. This is beautifully articulated through the recurring motif of God giving "beauty for ashes," a clear allusion to Isaiah 61:3, where the Lord promises to bestow a crown of beauty instead of ashes upon those who mourn. This imagery powerfully conveys the restoration and healing that comes through Christ, transforming lives from brokenness and despair into something precious and new. The song emphasizes that this incredible act was done out of pure, unmerited love, specifically for each individual, leading to a heartfelt declaration of returning everything – "all I have and all that I am" – back to God. This act of surrender, the repeated refrain of "Have it all," is not a reluctant giving, but a joyful acknowledgement of ownership and authority belonging to God.
The narrative woven through the lyrics speaks to a profound personal encounter with divine love that washes away shame and the weight of past failures. The singer acknowledges their own unworthiness, echoing the sentiment found in Romans 5:8, "But God demonstrates his own love for us in this: While we were still sinners, Christ died for us." The act of being "picked up anyway" and "seated in Your place" points to the believer's new identity in Christ, a concept foundational to Christian theology, as described in Ephesians 2:6, which states that God has raised us up with Christ and seated us with him in the heavenly realms in Christ Jesus. The repeated phrase, "You traded beauty for ashes," serves as a constant reminder of the cost of redemption and the transformative power of God's grace. The latter part of the song moves into a more active plea for divine molding and reshaping. The lines, "Take me make me, Shape me mould me," are not merely requests but expressions of a complete willingness to be conformed to God's will, reflecting the prayer in Romans 12:2: "Do not conform to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to test and approve what God’s will is—his good, pleasing and perfect will." This desire for God to "Have it all" signifies a mature understanding that true fulfillment and purpose are found only when our lives are entirely surrendered to His sovereign hand, allowing His perfect work to be completed within us, bringing Him glory.
