All I Want Is You
Meaning & Inspiration
"All - Jesus All I Want is You" by Planetshakers, released on February 17, 2016, stands as a potent declaration of singular devotion within contemporary worship music. This song’s essence lies in its straightforward yet profound message: a heartfelt cry to place Jesus at the absolute center of one's existence, desiring nothing above His presence and person. It captures the very spirit of worship that yearns for an unadulterated relationship with the Divine, articulating a hunger for God that transcends all other pursuits. The song isn't merely a request; it's a statement of absolute priority, a re-alignment of affections towards the Creator.
The lyrical journey begins with an intimate, personal seeking, as the first verse expresses a strong desire "to know You," "to hear Your voice," and "to be so close." This mirrors the universal human longing for connection, here directed solely towards God, reflecting biblical themes found in scriptures like Jeremiah 29:13, which promises that we will find Him when we seek Him with all our heart, or Psalm 42:1-2, where the psalmist’s soul pants for God as a deer for water. The lines "I tune in to listen, To hear You speak to me" illustrate an active posture of readiness and expectation, believing that God speaks and is responsive to those who reach out. This foundational desire establishes the song’s premise: true fulfillment is found only in Him.
The Pre-Chorus then intensifies this focus, declaring, "All my attention, Set on You now, You are the center." This isn't a casual nod but a deliberate shift, a conscious decision to reorient one's entire being. It resonates with Colossians 3:2, instructing us to set our minds on things above, and Matthew 6:33, which urges seeking God's kingdom first. The Chorus solidifies this resolve, becoming the song’s powerful mantra: "Jesus all, all, All I want is You, And my heart and soul Is longing just for You, Cuz You are, You are Everything to me." This is a comprehensive surrender, echoing Psalm 73:25, "Whom have I in heaven but you? And earth has nothing I desire besides you," affirming God as the ultimate desire and source of all satisfaction.
As the song progresses, the second verse deepens the pursuit, moving from a general desire for closeness to specific attributes of God: "Your presence, Your power, Your glory’s all I seek." The declaration "I’m hungry, I’m thirsty, Your love is all I need" powerfully evokes spiritual desperation, a thirst that only divine love can quench, reminiscent of Matthew 5:6, "Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness, for they will be filled." This sustained craving for God's manifest attributes, rather than just His blessings, elevates the worship from transactional to transformational. The subsequent Pre-Chorus reiterates the theme of singular devotion, replacing "attention" with "affection," further emphasizing the emotional and spiritual attachment to God as the core of one's being.
The Bridge introduces a significant shift from individual longing to a corporate, generational prayer. "You are the desire Of our generation, We want You, We need You, Holy Spirit! So pour out Your presence, In our generation! All we want is You!" This expansion transforms the personal plea into a collective anthem for revival and spiritual awakening. It's a bold prayer for God’s Spirit to be poured out, drawing parallels to prophecies like Joel 2:28 and their fulfillment in Acts 2:17, where God promises to pour out His Spirit on all people. This collective yearning positions the song not just as an expression of personal faith, but as a prophetic call for societal transformation rooted in God's presence. The repeated Chorus at the end serves as a powerful affirmation, cementing the central message that Jesus is truly everything, solidifying the song's spiritual anchor and inviting everyone to join in this profound declaration. This song, in its directness and scriptural grounding, serves as a poignant reminder and encouragement for believers to fix their gaze on Christ, allowing Him to be the preeminent desire and ultimate fulfillment in their lives and in their generation.
