UpperRoom Music + Grace City Music - With You Lyrics
Lyrics
Verse 1:
Everything that I give You
You multiply
I need for nothing
I found that You satisfy
Chorus:
For better is one day
In the upper room with You
For better is one day with You
Verse 2:
All of my treasure I surrender
Cuz You multiply
I need for nothing
I found that You satisfy
Bridge:
Life with You at the center
Is better than any other
Lord I could praise You forever
How You saved me, How You changed me
Now that the Lord is my Shepherd
He’s leading me on new adventures
Lord I could praise You forever
How You saved me, How You changed me

Meaning & Inspiration
"With You" by UpperRoom Music and Grace City Music emerges as a powerful declaration of faith, a vibrant testament to the transformative power of a life lived in close communion with God. The song's genesis, as expressed through its lyrical content, centers on the profound truth that dedicating our all – our treasures, our very selves – to Him results in an abundant multiplication, banishing want and fulfilling every need. This resonates deeply with the teachings found in scriptures like Matthew 6:33, which encourages us to seek first God’s kingdom and His righteousness, promising that all these things will be added to us. The core message, encapsulated in the repeated phrase, "better is one day in the upper room with You," speaks to a yearning for intimacy with the divine, a recognition that even a brief moment in God's presence far surpasses any earthly pleasure or accomplishment. This sentiment echoes the psalmist’s cry in Psalm 84:10, "For a day in your courts is better than a thousand elsewhere." The bridge of the song further elaborates on this transformative experience, portraying a life centered on God as inherently superior to any alternative, a journey marked by salvation, change, and divine guidance. The imagery of the Lord as a Shepherd leading His flock on new adventures directly calls to mind Psalm 23, painting a picture of confident trust and unwavering provision. The repeated expression of an eternal praise for His saving and changing power is a heartfelt acknowledgment of the radical renewal that comes from surrendering to God's will, aligning with Romans 12:2, which urges believers to be transformed by the renewing of their minds. Ultimately, "With You" is more than just a song; it's an invitation to experience the unparalleled richness of a life anchored in God's presence, a spiritual anthem that encourages a deeper pursuit of Him.
