Everything to Me
Meaning & Inspiration
Todd Dulaney’s "Everything To Me," released on January 22, 2013, as part of his album *Pulling Me Through*, stands as a powerful declaration of absolute dependence and worship. Far beyond a simple melody, this song delves deep into the soul's profound reliance on the Creator, articulating the transformative impact of divine grace. From its initial spontaneous expressions of "La la la la," which serve as an uninhibited outpouring of joy and praise, the song swiftly moves into a clear narrative of personal salvation and gratitude, establishing a foundational truth for all believers. It is a testament to the fact that some truths are so immense, they initially defy words, only to coalesce into fervent, direct statements of faith.
The profound meaning behind "Everything To Me" centers on the unshakeable truth of Christ’s sacrifice and its life-altering implications. Dulaney articulates this with disarming simplicity, singing about receiving life and freedom "just because You died for me." This echoes the core message of the Gospel, as conveyed in Romans 5:8, "But God demonstrates His own love toward us, in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us." The subsequent declaration, "I have life and now I'm free," resonates with Galatians 5:1, which states, "It was for freedom that Christ set us free," liberating us from the chains of sin and providing eternal life, as promised in Romans 6:23. The sentiment, "I thank you for giving me the chance to start over again," speaks directly to the new creation we become in Christ, a truth beautifully captured in 2 Corinthians 5:17: "Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation. The old has passed away; behold, the new has come." This isn't merely a second chance; it's a complete spiritual overhaul, enabled by God’s amazing power, a power so mighty and awesome it transcends human comprehension, reflecting descriptions of God's majesty throughout Scripture, such as in Deuteronomy 10:17 and Psalm 145:3.
The chorus serves as the song's anchor, a steadfast affirmation: "Lord you are Everything to me, In you my heart will sing, Glory to, glory to My everything." This statement perfectly aligns with Psalm 73:25-26, where the psalmist declares, "Whom have I in heaven but you? And earth has nothing I desire besides you. My flesh and my heart may fail, but God is the strength of my heart and my portion forever." It’s a complete yielding, acknowledging God as the sole source of purpose, strength, and joy, much like the Apostle Paul’s conviction in Philippians 4:13, "I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me." The verses further emphasize this absolute dependence with poignant honesty: "God without you I'd go crazy, God without you I'd lose my mind." This isn’t hyperbole but a raw recognition of the human condition without divine guidance and peace. Proverbs 3:5-6 advises, "Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways submit to him, and he will make your paths straight," illustrating how straying from God leads to chaos and confusion. Indeed, it is the steadfast mind, anchored in God, that receives perfect peace, as Isaiah 26:3 assures us.
The profound realization that "Everytime I try to run I come up empty" powerfully conveys the futility of self-reliance and the human tendency to seek satisfaction apart from the Creator. This resonates deeply with John 15:5, where Jesus states, "Apart from me you can do nothing," underscoring that all genuine fruitfulness and fulfillment spring from abiding in Him. Many can relate to the frustrating cycle of chasing worldly pursuits, only to find them hollow and unsatisfying, confirming the wisdom of Proverbs 14:12, "There is a way that appears to be right, but in the end it leads to death." In stark contrast, the song culminates in a declaration of security and contentment: "As long as I have you I will be find" – a clear expression of unwavering faith that in God, all needs are met and all is well. This mirrors the comforting assurance of Psalm 23:1, "The Lord is my shepherd; I shall not want," and Philippians 4:19, "And my God will supply every need of yours according to his riches in glory in Christ Jesus." "Everything To Me" is ultimately an invitation to surrender fully to the One who truly is all-sufficient, encouraging a life lived in constant praise and recognition of His glory as our "everything," a mandate found throughout Scripture, calling us to do all things for His glory (1 Corinthians 10:31) and declaring His worthiness to receive all honor and praise (Revelation 4:11).
