For All You've Done
Reuben Morgan Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Lifted me from the miry clay
Almighty forever
I will never be the same
‘Cause You came near
From the everlasting
To the world we live
The Father’s only Son
You lived and You died
You rose again on high
You opened the way
For the world to live again
Hallelujah
For all You’ve done
Hallelujah
For all You’ve done
The first two lines in Reuben Morgan's song "For All You've Done," speak of how the Lord, as the Savior and Redeemer, lifted him from the miry clay. This likely refers to Psalm 40:2, which talks about being pulled from a pit of destruction, miry clay, and setting one’s feet upon a rock. This metaphor is similar to being saved from a dark and dangerous place in one's life, such as addiction or intense hardship, and feeling the power of the Lord to help overcome this darkness.
The next lines in the verse speak of the Lord's greatness and everlasting presence. When someone is saved, they thank God for the change that the salvation brings in their lives. The Lord is described as being "Almighty forever" in these lyrics, highlighting the eternity of Christ and God's influence on the faithful.
This theme is expanded further in the chorus, which praises the Lord for what He has done. The chorus tells of how Jesus lived, died, and rose again, opening the way for the entire world to live anew. The ultimate message is that the world has been saved and the promises of God have come to fruition. The meaning of the song is very powerful and speaks to the eternal hope of salvation and the strength of faith in the face of life's struggles.
