That's All
David Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
For I can't serve two masters and keep them both pleased
And I love my God, more than I love this world
And that's all He's asking of me
I have had my best friends to forsake me
They have turned me away from their door
With their hearts filled with hate they have judged me
They can hurt my name but I will never cry
When they falsely accuse me and others believe
For they can not change my record on high
And that's all that matters to me
I know I can't please this world and please God
For I can't serve two masters and keep them both pleased
And I love my God, more than I love this world
And that's all He's asking of me
In David's song "That's All", the lyrics express a deep and personal relationship with God. The singer understands that it is impossible to please both the world and God at the same time, and that he must choose one over the other. The lyrics reflect on how the singer has been rejected by his friends and peers for his faith, but he remains devoted to God despite their judgment. He recognizes that his actions may be misunderstood or questioned by others, but ultimately he knows that he is doing what God has asked of him, and that is all that matters to him.
The theme of choosing between the world and God is a common one in religious music, but David's approach to the subject is especially poignant. The lyrics present a sense of personal sacrifice, as the singer acknowledges that his faith has cost him the support of his friends and peers. This sense of isolation and alienation may be relatable to other believers who have felt ostracized for their faith. Despite this, the singer is resolute in his commitment to God, and emphasizes the importance of doing what is right, even in the face of adversity.
Overall, the lyrics to "That's All" reflect on the challenges of living a life guided by faith in a world that often opposes that belief. The song highlights the importance of staying true to what one believes in, even if it means facing rejection and criticism from others.

The fact that you can get tone like that for around $800 CAD is absolutely amazing

I bought the HX Stomp knowing that all in was an inevitability. Now, you’ve made that happen much sooner than anticipated. I was basically using it to replace my M5 for phasers, chorus, and octoverb that I didn’t have room for on my board. I think I’ll be doing less tap dancing now.
Cameron Williams
Sounds great! Would love an IR from your Benson Chimera to pair with the AC30 in the Stomp.
Sachin Gasper
Would you be able to do a video about post recording production? That intro demo sounded ridiculously good and it'd be sick to see a step by step how you mix, EQ and dial in plugins etc
Derek Waugh
This was such a killer video. Love the idea of using the snapshots as gain stages and the other blocks for effects. Definitely going to do this with the PodGo as I often feel like I am a bit hindered by having only four snapshots available when I just want one other effect on. Killer playing and tones as well. Your pod go presets are in my Sunday morning rotation every week - thanks!

So stoked for this! It's going to be great to take all those effects blocks and add them in my favorites to add anywhere I need!
Ben Borman
Perfect timing! My Stomp XL Arrives tomorrow. Question: Is this an "evergreen" bundle that will be updated with all your HX Stomp stuff as you design more stuff?
Luis Nunez
Love the tone David, you never dissapoint

Just like your full Helix Floorboard preset, props to you for doing your homework on all things Helix, even if you aren't actually using the Helix in a live setting.. utilizing features that a lot of people don't even know about. Well done man.
