All About You

You are the holy one
You are the living word
You are the center of my focus, Jesus.
You are the Son of God
You are the solid rock
You are the center of my focus, Jesus.
You’re the lover of my soul,
And I adore you only.

Chorus:
It’s all about you
It’s all about you
It’s all about you,
Jesus.
It’s all about you (it’s all about you)
It’s all about you (it’s all about you)
It’s all about you (it’s all about you),
Jesus.

You are miraculous
You are supernatural
You are the center of my focus, Jesus.
You are all-powerful
You are so wonderful
You are the center of my focus, Jesus.
You’re the lover of my soul,
And I adore you only.

Sometimes context is everything. I've heard this song before. Many times. But usually when I've heard it, I've been really turned off by the way it was sung, the attitudes shown, the way it became a 'show', the way it was about the musicians instead of about Him. It's sad, really. To sing "it's all about you" when the message coming through says "it's all about me."

Anyhow, I got to see a short video clip this week of a church band doing this song live in a Sunday morning service, and for once... it really WAS about Him. And I loved it.

It's a wonderful thing when you hear the Message instead of see the messenger.
