Fullness Found
Todd Agnew Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And I've found there are quite a few things to see
Physical and emotional and intellectual stimulations
But at the core I found them empty, empty
I've been trying so many things to fill me
But every one left me wanting
And every answer left me with more questions
For every emptiness, a fullness may be found
For every lie there's something true
For this broken cup that's quickly leaking water
There is a fullness found in You, found in You
I've been working hard at what I thought was useful
But my hands are so small next to Yours
I've been trying to learn all that I thought would make me wise
But I just found vanity and lies
Until You, You opened my eyes and I saw
That for every emptiness, a fullness may be found
For every lie there's something true
And for this broken cup that's quickly leaking water
There's a fullness found in You, found in You
And I thought everything was meaningless
But now I've found that's not true
And who am I to doubt the good in things
When all goodness comes from You, from You, my God
For every emptiness, a fullness may be found
For every lie there's something true
And for this broken cup that's quickly leaking water
There is a fullness found in You, found in You
The fullness found in You
Found in You
In the song "Fullness Found" by Todd Agnew, the artist reflects on his life experiences and the emotional, physical, and intellectual stimulations he has encountered. However, he finds that regardless of the stimulation he experiences, he finds them to be empty at the core. He has tried everything he could to fill the emptiness but every answer left him with more questions, and every road ended up in emptiness. He eventually discovers that everything he had been searching for can only be found in God.
Agnew uses the metaphor of a broken cup as an example of his life, quickly leaking water and perpetually empty. He then sees that for every emptiness, there is a fullness to be found in God. For every lie, there is something true. Agnew realizes that everything he thought to be meaningful or useful before is merely temporary and could only be satisfied in God. He ends his song by stating that 'who am I to doubt the good in things, when all goodness comes from You,' reflecting that God is the only true source of fulfillment.
Overall, "Fullness Found" is a song of reflection and self-discovery, where Agnew discovers his true purpose in life and the importance of God in his life.

But my hands are so small next to Yours
My capabilities pale in comparison to Yours
I've been trying to learn all that I thought would make me wise
I sought wisdom in all the wrong places
But I just found vanity and lies
Instead of discovering truth, I only found vanity and deceit
Until You, You opened my eyes and I saw
But You opened my eyes, allowing me to see clearly

I used to believe everything was devoid of meaning
But now I've found that's not true
Now I realize that is not the case
And who am I to doubt the good in things
I have no right to question the existence of goodness
When all goodness comes from You, from You, my God
All goodness is derived from You, my God
The fullness found in You
I have found fullness in You
Found in You
In You, I have found fullness
