Lincoln Brewster - I Belong To You Lyrics
Lyrics
You light my way, Everyday
You help me see, what I can be
I cry to you, my spirit song
Come use my life, for you alone
You caught my soul when I struggling to breath
You made me whole and now your majesty I see
I belong to you
Yes I belong to you
I hear your voice, it leads me on
Into your arms, when I belong
I cry to you, my spirit song
Come use my life, for you alone
You caught my soul when I was struggling to breath
You made me who and now your majesty I see
I belong to you
Yes I belong to you
I know you're everything
You're all I'll ever need
I know you're everything to me [x3]
You caught my soul when I was struggling to breath
You made me whole and now you majesty I see
I belong to you
Yes I belong to you

Lincoln Brewster - I Belong to You
Meaning & Inspiration
Lincoln Brewster’s "I Belong To You," released in 2010 as part of the album *Real Life*, is a powerful declaration of surrender and devotion, a song that resonates deeply with anyone who has experienced the transformative grace of God. From its opening lines, the song establishes a profound intimacy, painting a picture of a personal relationship where the divine actively guides and illuminates the path of the believer. The lyrics speak of God as the source of vision, helping the singer to recognize their full potential – a sentiment echoed in Ephesians 2:10, which reminds us that "For we are God’s handiwork, created in Christ Jesus to do good works, which God prepared in advance for us to do." This initial acknowledgment of God's illuminating presence leads into a raw and honest expression of dependence, where the singer cries out to God, offering their life for His sole purpose, a direct reflection of the biblical call to present ourselves as "living sacrifices, holy and pleasing to God—this is your; spiritual worship" (Romans 12:1).
The core of the song, however, lies in the profound moment of rescue and restoration. Brewster vividly describes a time of struggle, where breath was difficult, and the soul was caught in peril. This imagery powerfully conveys the overwhelming power of sin and despair that can grip us before we find our footing in Christ. The line, "You made me whole and now your majesty I see," is a testament to the redemptive work of Jesus. It speaks to the healing that comes from Him, not merely physical, but a deep, spiritual mending. This is powerfully reflected in Psalm 34:18, which assures us that "The Lord is close to the brokenhearted and saves those who are crushed in spirit." The subsequent affirmation, "I belong to you," is not a statement of obligation, but one of joyous ownership, a recognition that in His redemptive love, we are no longer our own but have been purchased and made new. This ownership is the very essence of our Christian identity, as Paul writes in 1 Corinthians 6:19-20: "Do you not know that your bodies are temples of the Holy Spirit, who is in you, whom you have received from God? You are not your own; you were bought at a price. Therefore honor God with your bodies."
Further reinforcing this theme, the song describes hearing God's voice as a guiding force, leading the singer into His arms where they truly belong. This is reminiscent of Jesus' own words in John 10:27: "My sheep listen to my voice; I know them, and they follow me." This journey into God's embrace, described as the place of true belonging, speaks to the peace and security found in His presence, far from the struggles and anxieties of the world. The repeated declaration, "I know you're everything, You're all I'll ever need," is a profound statement of faith, a complete reliance on God's sufficiency. This echoes the sentiment of David in Psalm 16:2, who declared, "I say to the Lord, 'You are my Lord; apart from you I have no good thing.'" The song culminates in a steadfast affirmation of this belonging, a grateful surrender that acknowledges God's ultimate sovereignty and His unwavering love. In "I Belong To You," Lincoln Brewster offers a beautiful, scripture-grounded anthem of redemption and the liberating truth of complete devotion to the One who has made us whole.
