To You
Hillsong Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Here I stand
Forever in Your mighty hand
Living with Your promise
Written on my heart

I am Yours
Surrendered wholly to You
You set me in Your family
Calling me Your own

Now I
I belong to You
Lord I need
Your Spirit Your word Your truth
Hear my cry
My deep desire
To know You more

In Your Name
I will lift my hands
To the King
This anthem of praise I bring
Heaven knows
I long to love You




With all I am
I belong to You

Overall Meaning

The first stanza of Hillsong's "To You" expresses the songwriter's assurance in the power and protection of God. By standing forever in His mighty hand, the songwriter is confident of being guided through life's ups and downs, knowing that every promise written in the Bible is imprinted upon their heart. This can be interpreted as a call to Christians to trust in the power of the Almighty God, to let go of their fears and doubts, and wholly submit themselves to His divine plan. This is further emphasized by the idea of being adopted into God's family, being called His own.


The second stanza of the song shifts to a personal cry to the Lord to know Him more deeply; to have a better understanding of His Spirit, His Word, and His truth. The singer wants to have a deeper relationship with God, which could be interpreted as a call to Christians to seek a more profound understanding of their faith. The final chorus of the song is a declaration of devotion to God, acknowledging Him as the King, and a desire to love Him with all of their being.

I was born a Muslim in Iraq. I was worried and depressed, sitting and looking at the Tigris River in my city.Jesus' face appeared to me in the water and told me. "Son, you're not alone" And now I'm a Christian, and I pray every day at the edge of the river.Thank you Jesus for this grace. I'm not alone right now. Jesus is with me.amen
