Hillsong Worship - To You Lyrics
Lyrics
Here I stand
Forever in Your mighty hand
Living with Your promise
Written on my heart
I am Yours
Surrendered wholly to You
You set me in Your family
Calling me Your own
Now I
I belong to You
Lord I need
Your Spirit Your word Your truth
Hear my cry
My deep desire
To know You more
In Your Name
I will lift my hands
To the King
This anthem of praise I bring
Heaven knows
I long to love You
With all I am
I belong to You

To You - Hillsong Worship
Meaning & Inspiration
Hillsong Worship’s “To You,” released in 1997 as part of the *Simply Worship II (Live)* album, stands as a powerful testament to the unreserved surrender of the believer to the divine. This song, born from a season of deep adoration, isn't merely a collection of pleasant sounds; it's a declaration of ultimate devotion, an offering of one’s very being in response to God’s overwhelming grace and love. The core message resonates with the profound truth found throughout Scripture: that our lives are meant to be lived not for ourselves, but as a living sacrifice, holy and pleasing to God, as Paul writes in Romans 12:1. The fervent plea to give "all that I am, all that I have" echoes the radical commitment Jesus calls for, reminding us of His words in Matthew 16:24, where He instructs, "If anyone would come after me, let him deny himself and take up his cross and follow me." This isn't a casual invitation; it’s a call to a transformative discipleship that prioritizes the King of Kings above all earthly possessions or self-preservation.
The song unpacks this theme of complete capitulation through a series of earnest pronouncements. It’s an unfolding of a heart that has encountered the transformative power of God and can offer nothing less than a full return. The essence of this offering is deeply rooted in the understanding of God's immense worth and His prior action of love. Consider the gratitude that must underpin such a dedication; it’s a response to the sacrificial love demonstrated on the cross, as John 3:16 so beautifully articulates, “For God so loved the world, that he gave his only Son, that whoever believes in him should not perish but have eternal life.” “To You” is the human echo of that divine love, a recognition that every breath, every thought, every talent, has been given to us by God and therefore rightly belongs back to Him. It’s a spiritual posture of worship that seeks to honor God with every facet of existence, mirroring the psalmist’s declaration in Psalm 116:12-13, “What shall I return to the Lord for all his bounty to me? I will lift up the cup of salvation and call on the name of the Lord.” This song invites us into that same spirit of profound gratitude and joyful obedience, encouraging a life lived in continuous, unadulterated worship.
