Everyday
This Providence Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Maybe breathe a little prayer but it just ain't the same
Ignoring every word you say
Every word when you tell me
Whoa be still
Just stay still
Whoa be still
Everybody's got something for me to do
And my head's filled with thoughts of everything but you
Cause I never listen to anything you say
And I fall in submission to everything but you everyday
I go to your house and fall on my knees
The very next morning and cry out please
Would you take this life I call my own?
Would you let your house become my home?
Whoa be still
Just stay still
Whoa be still
But oh Jesus
Everybody's got something for me to do
And my head's filled with thoughts of everything but you
Cause I never listen to anything you say
And I fall in submission to everything but you everyday
Yeah
Everyday
Everyday
Everybody's got something for me to do
And my head's filled with thoughts of everything but you
Cause I never listen to anything you say
And I fall in submission to everything but you everyday
The song “Everyday” by This Providence is a confession of the singer’s unconscious neglect of the divine presence. Despite the efforts of the almighty to reach out, the singer admits to ignoring every word and being too engrossed in mundane activities to pay attention. The first verse opens with the singer waking up and hearing the divine presence whisper their name, but even though they acknowledge it, they admit that it doesn't mean much to them. They talk about breathing a little prayer, yet it just ain't the same, and they go ahead to ignore every word they hear. The singer admits that they fall in submission to everything but the almighty every day, emphasizing how easy it is to be distracted from the divine presence.
In the second verse, the singer highlights their constant state of being busy or preoccupied with other things, and acknowledging that they never listen to anything the divine presence says. The singer’s confession continues, and they admit that they always have something to do, which fills their head with thoughts of everything but the divine presence. The chorus repeats the theme of the song, emphasizing how the singer falls in submission to everything else but the divine presence. The singer makes a plea, asking the divine presence to take control of their life and let their house become their home, which is a metaphor for full surrender to the divine presence.
