Hillsong Young And Free - Everything I Could Want Lyrics
Lyrics
VERSE 1:
I’ve seen the world a couple of times by now
We’re all the same
People wishing what they’ve got away
We need a change
Are we looking in the wrong place
Finding meaning in the wrong names
If I’m being honest with myself
PRE-CHORUS:
All the fame
And all of the faces
All the fake congratulations
Buying stuff to fill the spaces
Is it ever enough
When it never could be
To gain all the world
But never be free
So we sing
CHORUS:
What’s the use comparing
Worrying and stressing
Keeping up with everyone
When tryna be somebody
Perfect love reminds me
That I’ve got everything I could want
TAG:
Na na na na na na
Jesus You are all that I want

Everything I Could Want (Live) - Hillsong Young & Free
Meaning & Inspiration
Hillsong Young & Free's live recording of "Everything I Could Want," released on August 28, 2020, presents a vibrant musical exploration of finding ultimate satisfaction in God. The song's central theme is clearly articulated in its title: that in Jesus, we discover a fulfillment that surpasses any earthly desire or aspiration. Rather than listing external things God provides, the song delves into the profound truth that God *Himself* is the source and substance of everything we truly need. This message resonates deeply with the core Christian belief that sufficiency is found not in circumstances or possessions, but in a dynamic relationship with the Creator.
The heart of "Everything I Could Want" taps into a fundamental human longing for contentment and security, addressing the constant search for meaning and happiness that often leads people down paths that ultimately disappoint. The song redirects this search, pointing to Jesus as the ultimate source of peace and satisfaction. It echoes the sentiment found throughout Scripture, such as in Psalm 23, where the psalmist declares, "The Lord is my shepherd; I shall not want." This isn't merely a statement about God providing material needs, but about the Shepherd *being* enough, His presence bringing complete provision and rest. Similarly, Jesus' declaration in John 6:35, "I am the bread of life; whoever comes to me shall not hunger, and whoever believes in me shall never thirst," underscores this idea that spiritual hunger and thirst are met definitively in Him. The song captures this spiritual reality, declaring that when we have Him, there is no essential lack.
Analyzing the song's message through a biblical lens reveals layers of depth. Philippians 4:19 assures believers, "And my God will supply every need of yours according to his riches in glory in Christ Jesus." "Everything I Could Want" moves beyond this promise of provision to the even more foundational truth that *God Himself* is the all-sufficient one. This aligns with Colossians 2:9-10, which states, "For in him [Christ] the whole fullness of deity dwells bodily, and you have been filled in him." Being "filled in him" signifies a complete spiritual abundance derived solely from being united with Christ. The song serves as a musical expression of this theological truth, inviting listeners to recognize that the 'everything' they seek is embodied in the person of Jesus. The live recording enhances this message, adding an authentic energy that feels communal and genuine, reflecting a shared experience of finding this divine satisfaction. It’s a worshipful declaration that shifts focus from earthly pursuits to the heavenly reality of God's complete provision in Christ, encouraging a posture of gratitude and trust in His unfailing sufficiency.
