"My All, God Is" (Live Recording)
Meaning & Inspiration
Ricky Dillard’s "My All God Is," released on October 8, 2018, emerges as a profound and unwavering declaration of divine supremacy and utter dependence. This song isn't merely a melodic arrangement; it’s a theological statement, a worshipful meditation that unpacks the very core of a believer’s relationship with God. It speaks to a life fully surrendered, where the Creator is not just an aspect of existence, but the essential fabric of it, touching every fiber of being from the innermost thoughts to outward actions.
The song’s message centers on the fundamental truth that God is the singular source and sustainer of life. It opens with an expression of deep yearning and profound affection, stating that every part of one's being—heart, mind, and soul—is captivated by and devoted to the Lord. This resonates deeply with the greatest commandment to "Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind" (Matthew 22:37). The subsequent affirmation, "In You I live, In You I breathe, In You I move, And have my Being," is a direct echo of the Apostle Paul’s words in Acts 17:28, a powerful reminder that our very existence is not self-generated but divinely bestowed and continuously upheld by God's sovereign power. This isn't just poetry; it's a theological cornerstone reminding us that apart from Him, we are utterly adrift.
As the song progresses, it expands on this comprehensive dependence, identifying God as the ultimate provider of spiritual, emotional, and practical necessities. He is celebrated as the fountain of joy and peace, particularly in a world often marked by anxiety and strife. This truth finds its parallel in Philippians 4:7, which promises that "the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus." Furthermore, God is declared a steadfast refuge from the adversary, a strong tower in times of trouble, a concept beautifully articulated in Psalm 46:1: "God is our refuge and strength, an ever-present help in trouble." The song also courageously acknowledges human weakness, proclaiming God as the strength when we falter and the victory even in the face of what appears to be defeat. This profound insight aligns perfectly with 2 Corinthians 12:9, where the Lord assures, "My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness," and 1 Corinthians 15:57, which celebrates, "But thanks be to God! He gives us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ."
The repeated declaration, "You are my all," culminating in the resounding "God is my all in all," encapsulates the song’s profound theological depth. It’s a powerful testament to the belief that Christ is not merely a part of our lives, but the sum total of it, fulfilling every need and desire. This echoes the beautiful truth found in Colossians 3:11, which states that "Christ is all, and is in all." "My All God Is" serves as an inspiring anthem for anyone seeking to establish or reaffirm God as the absolute center of their universe. It encourages a deeper faith walk, urging each person to embrace the fullness of God's presence, provision, and power in every season and circumstance, transforming daily life into an ongoing testament to His boundless sovereignty.
