You Are Everything
Dr. York Lyrics

Answer me oh Good One
Requesting a response from the all-knowing, all-powerful deity

Come and answer my call oh beautiful One
Asking the divine to respond to the call of the believer

Answer me now oh great God
Urging the almighty to listen and reply immediately

Oh God Arise
Calling on the lord to awaken and act on behalf of the petitioner

Great one, arise your throne
Inviting the majesty of heaven to assert its supremacy

The God that does great things
Praising the divine for its limitless power and ability to perform miracles

It is said that when the situation is hopeless
Acknowledging a common belief about divine intervention in desperate circumstances

We call the God of all impossibilities
Affirming the faith that the Creator can accomplish the seemingly impossible

Oh God please answer me
Asking the merciful God to answer a specific request

I remember when the going was very tough
Recalling a previous difficult experience

I cried out to you earnestly
Describing the intensity and sincerity of the petitioner's plea to the divine

And you came and fought my hidden battles
Grateful acknowledgement of divine intervention in personal struggles

Glorious One you strong
Addressing the celestial being with adoration and awe for its power and majesty

Good God you are too strong
Acknowledging the benevolent deity's strength and might

I don't what to offer to You
Admitting uncertainty about how to express gratitude to the divine

I bring this song of praise
Presenting an expression of thanksgiving as an offering to the divine

To give you the praise that is due to You
Describing the purpose and intent of the offering of praise

You are worthy to be praised
Declaring the deity's worthiness of praise and recognition

I give you all the glory
Acknowledging that all glory belongs to the Creator and not the petitioner

Let us carry a bag of thanks
Metaphorically signaling the importance and abundance of thanksgiving

To give the beautiful God that does beautiful things
Expressing gratitude toward the benevolent deity for its goodness and grace

Because He has answered me
Stating the cause for the petitioner's thanksgiving and offering of praise

Jesus has answered me, He has fought the hidden battles for me
Acknowledging the role of Christ in providing divine assistance and intervention

The great God has fought my battles
Affirming the power and benevolence of the deity in personal affairs

You are worthy
Reiterating the deity's worthiness of recognition and praise

Oh, thank you great One
Expressing gratitude and acknowledgement of the Creator's greatness

My mouth is filled with praise
Describing the abundance and intensity of the petitioner's thanksgiving

Oh, God receive my praise
Inviting the deity to receive the offering of praise and thanksgiving

The spring of living water
Metaphorical allusion to the divine as a source of spiritual refreshment and life

The fountain of life
Another metaphorical reference to the deity as the ultimate source of life, vitality, and renewal

The audience of one
Describing the believer's relationship with the deity as a personal and intimate conversation with an attentive listener

The mountain that defeated the climber
Using an imagery of a mountain overcoming a climber as a metaphor for the deity's victorious power over challenges and setbacks

The friend to the lonely
Describing the Creator as a compassionate companion to those who feel isolated and abandoned

The arrow that shattered the grave
Portraying the deity as a weapon of victory that has conquered death and decay

The God knows everything yet is silence
Recognizing the incongruity of an omniscient deity choosing to be quiet and suggesting a quiet form of awe and contemplation

The omniscient God
Describing the divine as all-knowing and possessing complete knowledge and understanding of everything

You are my father
Expressing the believer's closeness and affectionate relationship with the Creator

You are worthy Lord
Affirming the divine's worthiness of honor, respect, and recognition by using a form of address that denotes authority and reverence

You deserve it all
Acknowledging the Creator's entitlement to all glory, recognition, and honor

You deserve every praise
Echoing the previous sentiments by stating that the divine deserves any and all forms of praise and adoration
