Kristian Stanfill - All About You Lyrics
Lyrics
We're clearing off the surface
You're coming into focus
We're going back to the basics, the glory of Your face is
The reason why we do this
The winds of worship blowing
The doors of heaven open
Jesus You're at the center, Lord help us to remember
The reason why we do this
It's all about You, it's all about You
Always has been, always will be
All about You
All about You
Our priorities are changing
We remember why You made us
We're all sons and daughters, dancing with our Father
It's not that complicated
Every story of impossible miracles
It's all about You
Every story of a prodigal coming home
It's all about You
Every story of revival, I know
It's all about You
Your kingdom's all about lives changed, empty graves
It's all about You

Passion, Kristian Stanfill - All About You
Meaning & Inspiration
Kristian Stanfill's "All About You," released on February 24, 2023, is a powerful anthem that firmly plants its flag at the very heart of Christian worship. This song isn't merely a collection of pleasant sounds; it’s a profound declaration of theological truth, stripped of pretense and focused with laser precision on its singular, unyielding subject. The lyrical journey begins with a compelling call to clear away distractions and return to foundational truths, to fix our gaze upon the "glory of Your face." This immediately evokes the biblical imperative to seek God first, as expressed in Matthew 6:33: "But seek first his kingdom and his righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well." The song articulates a desire for a genuine, unadulterated worship experience, acknowledging that the very purpose of their actions is rooted in the divine presence. The imagery of "winds of worship blowing" and "doors of heaven open" speaks to a spiritual atmosphere where God’s presence is palpable and accessible, a promise echoed in James 4:8: "Come near to God and he will come near to you." The repeated refrain, "It's all about You, it's all about You," is not just a catchy hook; it’s a confession of surrender, a recognition that life’s ultimate meaning and purpose are found not in self-achievement or worldly pursuits, but in devotion to the Almighty.
As the song progresses, Stanfill skillfully guides the listener toward a renewed understanding of identity and purpose. The lines about "priorities are changing" and remembering "why You made us" resonate deeply with the Genesis account of creation, where humanity was formed in God's image for relationship and stewardship (Genesis 1:26-27). The beautiful metaphor of being "sons and daughters, dancing with our Father" paints a vivid picture of restored relationship, a profound inheritance made possible through Christ, as described in Galatians 4:6-7: "Because you are his sons, God sent the Spirit of his Son into our hearts, the Spirit crying, 'Abba! Father!' So you are no longer a slave, but a son, and if a son, then an heir through God." The song beautifully captures the simplicity and purity of this divine connection, suggesting that at its core, faith is not overly complex but rooted in this loving paternal relationship.
The latter half of "All About You" explodes with testimony, referencing "every story of impossible miracles," "every story of a prodigal coming home," and "every story of revival." These narratives are presented not as isolated incidents but as irrefutable evidence of God's active, transformative power. The miraculous interventions, the redemption of the lost, and the sweeping movements of spiritual awakening all point back to the singular work of Christ. The mention of "empty graves" is a potent allusion to the resurrection of Jesus, the ultimate demonstration of His power over sin and death, as powerfully proclaimed in 1 Corinthians 15:55: "Where, O death, is your victory? Where, O death, is your sting?" The song concludes by emphasizing that God's kingdom is fundamentally about lives transformed, a testament to the ongoing work of the Holy Spirit in the world. "All About You" is a resonant reminder that in a world often focused on the ephemeral, true and lasting significance is found in the eternal, unchanging nature of God, and in His magnificent redemptive plan for humanity.
