Lyrics
And we will never settle for less
We know there is more that’s found in You
And we will never settle for less
We know there is more that’s found in You
We will never settle for less
We know there is more that’s found in You
We will never settle for less
We know there is more that’s found in You
It’s in You Lord, It’s in You Lord
We know, there is more that’s found in You
It’s in You Lord, It’s in You Lord
We know, there is more that’s found in You
It’s in You Lord, It’s in You Lord
We know, there is more that’s found in You
It’s in You Lord, It’s in You Lord
We know, there is more that’s found in You
I wanna do things your way
Your way, your way, your way
Your way is our away
We will never settle for less
We know there is more that’s found in You
We will never settle for less
We know there is more that’s found in You
It’s in You Lord, It’s in You Lord
We know, there is more that’s found in You
We are in You Lord, in You Lord
We know, there is more that’s found in You

Khaya Mthethwa & The Uprising - Settle For Less
Meaning & Inspiration
Khaya Mthethwa’s "Settle For Less - We Will Never Settle For Less," released on November 13, 2015, stands as a powerful declaration of faith, anchoring itself in the profound belief that God offers an existence far richer than any earthly measure. This song is not merely a composition but an anthem for the soul, asserting a refusal to accept spiritual mediocrity and instead reaching for the divine abundance promised to believers. It articulates a core Christian truth: that the true and ultimate source of fulfillment, purpose, and limitless potential resides exclusively in God.
The heart of the song's message beats with an unwavering resolve: "We will never settle for less / We know there is more that’s found in You." This declaration isn't a plea for material gain, but rather a profound spiritual commitment to pursue the fullness of life available through a relationship with the Divine. It’s a rejection of the idea that believers should be content with anything less than God’s ultimate best, challenging the common human tendency to limit God’s capacity or our own spiritual potential. This resonates deeply with the scriptural invitation found in John 10:10, where Jesus states, "I have come that they may have life, and have it to the full." The song powerfully reinforces that God’s intention for His people is not mere survival, but abundant life—a life overflowing with joy, peace, purpose, and every spiritual blessing.
The repeated affirmation, "It’s in You Lord, It’s in You Lord / We know, there is more that’s found in You," serves as the song's central theological pillar. It points unequivocally to God as the singular wellspring of all good, echoing verses like James 1:17, which reminds us that "Every good and perfect gift is from above, coming down from the Father of the heavenly lights." This "more" encompasses far greater realities than fleeting worldly possessions; it speaks to the hidden treasures of wisdom and knowledge, as described in Colossians 2:3, the unwavering strength in times of weakness (Philippians 4:13), the profound peace that surpasses understanding (Philippians 4:7), and the limitless grace that is always sufficient (2 Corinthians 12:9). By placing this "more" solely "in You Lord," the song redirects our gaze from self-reliance or worldly striving to a complete dependence on divine provision and grace.
Perhaps the most potent aspect of the song’s narrative unfolds in the lines, "I wanna do things your way / Your way, your way, your way / Your way is our away." This is a profound moment of surrender and alignment, moving beyond just acknowledging God's abundance to actively committing to His path. It encapsulates the essence of Proverbs 3:5-6: "Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways submit to him, and he will make your paths straight." Embracing God’s "way" implies an act of obedient faith, recognizing that His plans are always superior and lead to the most flourishing outcomes. It’s a willing exchange of our limited perspective for His infinite wisdom, trusting that His direction is indeed the best path for our lives, leading us not to a settling for less, but into the glorious "more" that He has prepared. This song thus serves as a powerful encouragement for anyone yearning for a deeper spiritual experience, a stirring reminder that true fulfillment and endless possibilities are found not in our own efforts, but in steadfast devotion to the boundless nature of God.
