Lauren Daigle - Everything - You Give Me Everything Lyrics

Lyrics

Even the sparrow has a place to lay its head
So why would I let worries steal my breath
Even the roses, You have clothed in brilliant red
Still I'm the one You love more than this

[Chorus]
You give me everything
You give me everything
You give me everything
I need

Even the oceans push and pull at Your command
So You can still my heart with Your hand
You tell the seasons when it's time for them to turn
So I will trust You, even when it hurts

[Chorus 2]
You give me everything
You give me everything
You give me everything
I need

You give me everything
You give me everything
You give me everything
I need

[Bridge]
When I can't see, You lead me
When I can't hear, You show me
When I can't stand, You carry me
When I'm lost, You will find me
When I'm weak, You are mighty
You are everything I need

[Chorus 3]
You give me everything
You give me everything
You give me everything
I need

You give me everything
You give me everything
You give me everything
I need

Lauren Daigle - Everything (Starstruck Sessions)

Meaning & Inspiration

Lauren Daigle's "Everything (Starstruck Sessions)," released in late 2020, is a powerful declaration of trust and dependence on a divine provider, transcending mere personal affirmation to become a profound theological statement. The song unfolds with a gentle yet insistent rhythm, setting the stage for a message deeply rooted in the biblical understanding of God's unfailing care. Daigle begins by grounding the listener in the observable provision of the natural world, referencing the sparrow's secure resting place and the splendor of the lilies, echoing Jesus' teachings in Matthew 6:26-30. These seemingly small observations serve as potent reminders that if God so meticulously cares for His creation, His love and provision for humanity, His most prized creation, are immeasurably greater. This initial framing directly addresses the anxieties of daily life, posing the rhetorical question of why one would allow worry to steal their peace when such profound and consistent care is demonstrated by their Creator. The core of the song, the repeated refrain "You give me everything I need," is not a casual expression of satisfaction but a profound surrender, acknowledging that true sufficiency comes not from possessions or circumstances, but from the inexhaustible grace of God. This echoes the sentiment found in Philippians 4:19, which assures believers that "my God will supply every need of yours according to his riches in glory in Christ Jesus." The verses then expand this trust to encompass the vastness of God's power, comparing His control over the oceans and seasons to His ability to calm the tempest within a troubled heart. This imagery draws parallels to scriptures like Psalm 29:10, which speaks of God enthroned over the flood, and the narrative of Jesus calming the storm in Mark 4:39, illustrating His sovereign authority over all of creation. Daigle's bridge is particularly poignant, offering a series of declarations that mirror God's promises to His people throughout Scripture: He leads when sight fails (Proverbs 3:5-6), He shows the way when communication is unclear (Numbers 12:8), He carries us when we are weak (Isaiah 46:4), He finds us when we are lost (Luke 19:10), and His strength is made perfect in our weakness (2 Corinthians 12:9). Ultimately, "Everything" is more than a song; it's an anthem of unwavering faith, a testament to the truth that in God alone, all needs are met, and in His love, we find our true and complete sufficiency, a message that resonates deeply with the foundational tenets of Christian belief.
