Tess Says
Matt Maher is brilliant! He’s my favorite Christian artist. His song “Jesus My Everything” is one of those Catholic/Christian rock ballads that immediately captured my soul and that’s why I wanted to do a cover of this song. The lyrics tell the whole story. When we’re in time of need, we turn to Jesus and to God. When we’re happy and achieve success, we are grateful to Jesus and to God. No matter what circumstance, Jesus will always be there. He is our everything. At least, that’s my perception of it.
My version of “Jesus My Everything” is showcased in my first album “The Only One We Need”. The goal of the project was to show people of all ages, especially young kids, that it’s possible to be engaged in church music, singing, clapping, and groovin’ along! Music is what completes the soul when you’re praying to God. In our church, we always say that when you sing you pray twice. It HAS to be a sound that catches a person’s ear first in order for them to want to listen to it’s meaning. To anyone out there, if you want to hear Catholic/Christian music that sounds like Taylor Swift or Muse or Jay-Z, then MAKE it! Sure enough, I think my team of musicians did the job…and boy did they do it well. Thanks guys!
Jesus My Everything Lyrics:
I’ve been looking for a reason
I’ve been longing for a purpose
Losing all my meaning
Run out of excuses
Lord, it’s hard to know you
I don’t always see your plan
But holiness is calling me
So take me as I am
‘Cause you are my everything
You are the song I sing
I’ll do anything for you
I’ll do anything for you
Teach me how to pray
To live a life of grace
I’ll go anywhere for you
Jesus be my everything
Lord I get so tired
Of the struggle within
I settle in complacency
And I’m weighed down in my sins
So lead me past emotion
‘Cause they change with the wind
I want to be a true disciple
To daily choose your hand
‘Cause you are my everything
You are the song I sing
I’ll do anything for you
Teach me how to pray
To live a life of grace
I’ll go anywhere for you
You are my everything
You are the song I sing
I’ll do anything for you
Teach me how to pray
To live a life of grace
I’ll go anywhere for you
Jesus be my everything
Jesus be my everything
Jesus be my everything
