Lyrics
What to say Lord?
It's You who gave me life and I
Can't explain just how
Much You mean to me now
That You have saved me Lord
I give all that I am to You
That everyday I can
Be a light that shines Your name
Everyday Lord I'll
Learn to stand upon Your word
And I pray (that I)
That I might come to know You more
That You would guide me
In every single step I take that
Everyday I can
Be Your light unto the world
Everyday
It's You I'll live for
Everyday
I'll follow after You
Everyday
I'll walk with You my Lord
It's you I live for, everyday
It's you I live for, everyday
It's you I live for, everyday

Meaning & Inspiration
“Everyday” is a direct prayer of gratitude, discipleship, and daily devotion. The singer begins with salvation as the reason for offering every part of life to God. That response takes practical shape in a desire to stand on Scripture, grow in knowledge of the Lord, receive guidance in each step, and become a visible witness. The repeated word “everyday” emphasizes consistency rather than a single moment of commitment.
Several biblical themes meet in the lyric’s simple promises. Standing on God’s word recalls Scripture as a lamp for the path, while shining the Lord’s name reflects Christ’s call for his followers to be light in the world. The pledge to follow daily also resembles the call to take up the cross each day. Although the language is accessible for children and congregational singing, its commitments are substantial: learning, praying, following, walking, and living for Christ. The song presents Christian growth as a daily dependence on God’s saving grace and direction.
