Unto You
Kutless Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Teach me your truths
All my hope in you
Almighty God
God of salvation
For you I'll wait
All my days
Unto You O Lord
I lift up my soul
With all my heart I will worship you
Unto You O Lord
I lift up my soul
Holy God I will worship You
Remember Lord
Your tender mercy
Remember your love for me
You took my cross
Carried my shame
Now all my sin is swept away
My eyes are lifted up
By Your perfect love
You take away my every fear
My eyes are lifted up
You are worthy of my trust
And for You I'll wait all my days
In "Unto You," Kutless expresses their deep longing to know God more intimately, to see His ways and understand His truths. The song begins by asking God to teach them His ways and lead them in truth because all of their hope is in Him. The lyrics then shift to a declaration of God's nature: He is Almighty God, the God of salvation, and therefore deserving of their worship. The chorus repeats the phrase "Unto You O Lord, I lift up my soul" as an expression of their surrender and submission to God. The second verse talks about remembering God's tender mercy and love, and how He took their cross and carried their shame so that all their sins could be erased. The bridge expresses trust in God's perfect love that takes away all fears and declares Him worthy of their trust, resulting in a lifelong commitment to waiting on Him.
The lyrics of "Unto You" are a powerful proclamation of faith and trust in God, encouraging the listener to deepen their relationship with Him. The song's melody is also very uplifting and inspiring, drawing the listener in and evoking a sense of awe and reverence.
