Todd Dulaney - Simply Amazing Lyrics
Lyrics
Oh oh oh oh oh oh yeah
I never knew i'd be loved by You
You came along and You drew me near to Your heart
I wish I knew from the start
How everything's changed by one touch from You
And over and over You saw me through all the rain
Yes through all the pain
You opened my eyes so that I may see You're amazing
Changed my heart, making me complete, You're amazing
Lord You are
Everything I need You to be
You're everything I want, I can see
Yes... Lord You are
You're simply amazing to me
Oh oh oh uh yeah
Yes You are
I never knew i'd be loved by You
You came along and You drew me near to Your heart Jesus
I wish I knew from the start
How everything's changed by one touch from You
And over and over You saw me through all the rain
Yes through all the pain, yes
You opened my eyes so that I may see You're amazing
Changed my heart, making me complete, You're amazing
Lord You are
You're everything I need You to be
You're everything I want, I can see
Yes... Lord You are
Simply amazing to me
You're everything I need You to be
You're everything I want, I can see
Yes... Lord You are
You're simply amazing to me
If I had ten thousand tongues
It still won't be enough to say thank You
For all You've done for me
Oh oh uh
And if I had my way I would
Take every second and make it count
By laying at Your feet
'Cause Lord You are
Everything I need You to be
You're everything I want, I can see
Yeah...
You're simply amazing to me
Lord You are
Everything I need You to be
You're everything I want, I can see
Yes... Lord You are
Simply amazing to me
My God is simply amazing
Oh try Him and see for yourself
Oh yes... oh my
Lord You are...
You're simply amazing to me
Oh yes You are

Meaning & Inspiration
Todd Dulaney's "Simply Amazing," released on January 22, 2013, as part of his album *Pulling Me Through*, immediately establishes itself as a profound testament to divine love and transformative grace. The song originates from a deep well of personal experience, articulating the wonder of an unexpected encounter with God's profound affection and unwavering presence. It speaks to a journey where the singer, perhaps once distant or unaware, discovers a love that not only draws them in but fundamentally reshapes their entire existence. This narrative arc resonates deeply with countless individuals who have experienced God's intervention in their lives, turning moments of despair or aimlessness into pathways of purpose and completion.
The essence of "Simply Amazing" lies in its heartfelt recognition of God’s unmerited favor, a theme beautifully captured in the opening declaration, "I never knew I'd be loved by You." This sentiment echoes the biblical truth found in Romans 5:8, which assures us that "God demonstrates his own love for us in this: While we were still sinners, Christ died for us." The song’s progression from ignorance to intimate connection, where God "drew me near to Your heart," paints a vivid picture of divine invitation and acceptance, reminiscent of James 4:8, "Draw near to God, and he will draw near to you." The transformative power described, where "everything's changed by one touch from You," speaks directly to the new creation identity offered through Christ, as described in 2 Corinthians 5:17: "Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, the new creation has come: The old has gone, the new is here!" It is a testament to the Holy Spirit's immediate and profound work in the human heart, making what was once broken or incomplete, whole again.
Beyond the initial conversion, the song also celebrates God's steadfast faithfulness through life's trials. The lines "over and over You saw me through all the rain, Yes through all the pain" are a powerful acknowledgment of divine companionship in suffering. This reflects promises like Isaiah 43:2, "When you pass through the waters, I will be with you; and through the rivers, they shall not overwhelm you," and Psalm 34:19, "Many are the afflictions of the righteous, but the Lord delivers him out of them all." Dulaney's expression here reinforces the understanding that God's love isn't just for initial rescue but for sustained support and deliverance, proving His nature as an ever-present help in trouble. This enduring presence leads to a profound revelation: "You opened my eyes so that I may see You're amazing, Changed my heart, making me complete, You're amazing." The song thus culminates in an overwhelming declaration of God’s sufficiency and awe-inspiring character, affirming that He is indeed "everything I need You to be, You're everything I want," a spiritual contentment aligning with Philippians 4:19: "And my God will supply every need of yours according to his riches in glory in Christ Jesus."
The bridge elevates the praise to an almost inexpressible level of gratitude: "If I had ten thousand tongues, It still won't be enough to say thank You." This image powerfully communicates an overflowing heart of worship that cannot be contained by mere words, echoing Psalm 103:1-2, "Bless the Lord, O my soul, and all that is within me, bless his holy name! Bless the Lord, O my soul, and forget not all his benefits." The desire to "Take every second and make it count By laying at Your feet" embodies a posture of complete surrender and devotion, mirroring Mary’s choice to sit at Jesus’ feet in Luke 10:39, prioritizing communion and worship above all else. This profound adoration underscores the personal relationship the song highlights, where God is not just an abstract concept but a deeply personal sustainer and fulfiller. The song closes with a compelling invitation, "Oh try Him and see for yourself," a direct call to experience the same transformative love, echoing the Psalmist's encouragement in Psalm 34:8: "Oh, taste and see that the Lord is good! Blessed is the man who takes refuge in him!" "Simply Amazing" ultimately serves as an anthem for those who have found their completion and purpose in God, inspiring others to embark on their own journey of discovery and devotion to a truly amazing Savior.
