You gave me life
So I'll live my life for You
You gave me a voice
So I'll lift it proud for You
You gave me a crown
So I'll lay it at your feet

You gave me life
So I'll live my life for You
You gave me a voice
So I'll lift it proud for You
You gave me a crown
So I'll lay it at your feet

All I have to bring
Is what You have given me
All of it comes from You
And all of it is for You
The Giver and the Taker
The One who spoils me

You gave me life
So I'll live my life for You
You gave me a voice
So I'll lift it proud for You
You gave me a crown
So I'll lay it at your feet

All I have to bring
Is what You have given me
All of it comes from You
And all of it is for You
The Giver and the Taker
The One who spoils me

Take what You so freely gave to me
Lord, it's perfume for Your feet
Take what You so freely gave to me
Lord, it's perfume for Your feet
Take what You so freely gave to me
Lord, it's perfume for Your feet
Take what You so freely gave to me
Lord, it's perfume for Your feet

All I have to bring
Is what You have given me
All of it comes from You
And all of it is for You
The Giver and the Taker

All I have to bring
Is what You have given me
All of it comes from You
And all of it is for You
The Giver and the Taker
The One who spoils me

Take what You so freely gave to me
Lord, it's perfume for Your feet
Take what You so freely gave to me
Lord, it's perfume for Your feet

All I have to bring
Is what You have given me
All of it comes from You
And all of it is for You

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of "Stay On Your Feet" by E are a declaration of utmost gratitude and devotion to God for all the blessings bestowed upon the artist. The first stanza begins with the acknowledgment of life, voice, and a crown as a gift from God. The subsequent lines express the determination to live a purposeful life for God and use the voice for His glory. The crown symbolizes authority and honor, which will be laid at God's feet as an act of reverence.


The second stanza reiterates that all the artist has to offer is what was given to them by God. Therefore, anything the artist brings is rightfully God's and should be used to glorify Him. The lines, "The Giver and the Taker, the One who spoils me," reaffirm the artist's belief that everything comes from God, and it is in God's power to give and take away.


The chorus repeats the same message, and the verse, "Take what You so freely gave to me, Lord, it's perfume for Your feet," is an allusion to the biblical story of Mary Magdalene washing Jesus' feet with expensive perfume.

For God so loved
The world that he gave us
His one and only
Son to save us
Whoever believes in him
Will live forever
The power of hell
Forever defeated
Now it is well
I'm walking in freedom
For God so loved
God so loved the world

I'm a police officer wcco retired 4 years ago. Since then, I lost my wife of 40 years, my younger brother who was Down Syndrome and lived with me for the last 25 years of his life, and my eldest daughter to cancer. She was just 43 and leaves behind a husband and six children. My faith has been tested over and over again, but I know I am blessed. Your nearest release, the Goodness of God, brought tears to my eyes, yet led me up. I wanted to thank you for that.

@Jlist83

My condolences to you and your family. May God bless you this day and fill you with His peace and love.

Iโ€™m 14 and I have handed my life to Christ during quarantine. Best decision ever. Broke me from the early depression, sadness, guilt, insecurities, bad friend groups, idols, obsession, worries, stress, etc. I love my God so much. I pray for everyone to find Him.
