I can see it clearly now
There's a reason for this sound

Meaning & Inspiration
Planetshakers' "All About You," released on January 1st, 2015, as part of their album *Let's Go*, is a powerful declaration of unwavering devotion centered entirely on Jesus Christ. The song’s straightforward yet profound message is a testament to the core of Christian faith: that every aspect of existence finds its ultimate purpose and meaning in the person and work of Jesus. The lyrics articulate a profound realization, that the "reason for this sound," the very essence of who the singer is, is inextricably linked to "the risen Son of Man." This echoes the Apostle Paul's sentiment in Galatians 2:20, where he famously declares, "I have been crucified with Christ. It is no longer I who live, but Christ who lives in me. And the life I now live in the flesh I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave himself for me." The song emphasizes Jesus' uniqueness, describing Him as "like no other" with a "love that is greater," a concept that resonates deeply with the biblical narrative of God’s boundless and sacrificial love as demonstrated in John 3:16: "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only Son, that whoever believes in him should not perish but have eternal life." The repeated declaration, "It's all about You," is not merely a catchy refrain but a profound theological statement, acknowledging Jesus as the sovereign King, the Alpha and the Omega, the beginning and the end, as described in Revelation 1:8. The bridge further solidifies this, proclaiming Jesus as "the first," "the last," and the one who redeems the past, providing a secure future. This speaks to the transformative power of Christ’s sacrifice, enabling believers to move forward with hope, assured of His redemptive work which makes them "new creations" (2 Corinthians 5:17). The song's ultimate purpose, as stated in the verse, is to "bring You praise" and to "shout no other name," aligning with the biblical mandate to glorify God in all things (1 Corinthians 10:31) and the unique salvific power found only in Jesus, as asserted in Acts 4:12: "And there is salvation in no one else, for there is not another name under heaven given among men by which we must be saved." "All About You" serves as a musical prayer, a vibrant and unashamed confession that life finds its truest expression when it is wholly oriented around Jesus, from its inception to its eternal destination.
