Heart And Soul
Geoff Moore And The Distance Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
people were standing every where
somebody called my name
said son give me what you have
little or much I don't care
oh he wanted everything
two hands, you can call em your own
two feet to lead where ever you want them to go
and two eye to see things you want me to know
said I'm giving you everything,
Everything heart and soul
Past a church one time
where a rich man filled the plate
an old woman of nobody's son
she didn't have much of any thing,
but the little she had you know she gave.
be it little or much
what you have is going to be enough
you can praise him
be it great or small
a little love can break the wall between us
said I'm giving you
two hands, you can call em your own
two feet to lead where ever you want them to go
and two eye to see things you want me to know
said I'm giving you everything,
Everything heart and soul
passed a hill on time
a man he hung in silhouette
as thunder rolled across the sky
that man he had no
never can forget his words
not my will Lord but mine.
said I'm giving you
two hands, you can call em your own
two feet to lead where ever you want them to go
and two eye to see things you want me to know
said I'm giving you everything,
Everything heart and soul

The song "Heart and Soul" by Geoff Moore and The Distance revolves around the concept of giving everything to God. It starts with the singer taking a walk by the waterside when he is approached by someone who asks for what he has. The singer offers him everything he has, including his two hands, two feet, and two eyes - his entire being - heart and soul. He then recalls a time when he passed a church where a rich man filled the plate, but an old woman gave all she had. The message is clear - be it little or much, what you have is going to be enough, and you can praise God even with the smallest of things.
The chorus repeats the idea of giving everything to God heart and soul, while the second verse describes passing a hill where a man hung in silhouette. The man's words, "not my will, Lord, but yours," had a profound impact on the singer, and he decides to give everything to God only. Throughout the song, the idea that one should give everything to God and trust in His plan is emphasized, and that even a little love can break the wall between us.
Line by Line Meaning
Took a walk one day
Started my journey one day
right down by the waterside
Next to the water body
people were standing every where
Crowd of people gathered around
somebody called my name
Someone addressed me by my name
said son give me what you have
Asked me to share what I possess
little or much I don't care
Indifferent to the amount being shared
oh he wanted everything
Asking for complete dedication
said I'm giving you
I offered
two hands, you can call em your own
I grant you ownership of both hands
two feet to lead where ever you want them to go
I grant you the freedom to move in any direction
and two eye to see things you want me to know
I give you the ability to perceive things as you please
said I'm giving you everything,
I have given you my all
Everything heart and soul
The gift is complete, from the depths of my soul
Past a church one time
Once near a place of worship
where a rich man filled the plate
During a time a wealthy individual made a donation
an old woman of nobody's son
An elderly woman without any immediate family
she didn't have much of any thing,
The woman had little to give
but the little she had you know she gave.
Her small gift was given with sincerity
be it little or much
Regardless of how much or how little
what you have is going to be enough
What you have is sufficient
you can praise him
One can offer worship
be it great or small
No matter the size
a little love can break the wall between us
A small act of kindness can bring us together
passed a hill on time
Once went over a hill
a man he hung in silhouette
The silhouette of a man hanging
as thunder rolled across the sky
Thunder echoed in the background
that man he had no
That individual did not have anything
never can forget his words
The words spoken were unforgettable
not my will Lord but mine.
The man's willingness to surrender to a higher power
