So this song was inspired by yet another Fred Hammond song (Everything To Me). After listening to this song, I was on this kick to write about how God was just...MY everything. I had a few songs that I had arranged previously that fulfilled this desire, but none of them were good enough to put on an album. I was in the studio with my Producer, Noel, and he played this track for me. Okay, let me pause here for a second. So I have to admit something. This track was NOT originally for me...but after I heard it, I just couldn't let it go. So yes, someone got Track Jacked.... But dont worry, I added my own flavor to it--rearranged it, added some sounds, added an intro, added a vamp, and made it mine :-).
Okay...back to the song. I wrote this song, with a simple message. I just want to say that YOU are my everything. From there, I just begin to reflect on all the things the Bible has taught me about God. He's a light (Ex 13:21, Psalm 119:105); he is my shelter (Psalm 91:1); he shows favor (Gen 19:19a). These are just a few of the things I noted while writing this song. I also began to reflect on my own personal testimony of His goodness to me--His forgiveness, His willingness to pick me up, His mercy. These all came together to become the lyrics that you hear for My Everything.
I found it hard to write this song only because there was SOOO much I could have talked about. Needless to say, I found the words that lended themselves to some pretty PHAT rhymes..lol. And thats how this song was created. "I just want to say that Lord I give you praise and if I had 10,000 tongues it wouldn't be enough. Lord I thank you. Lord I bless you....cuz you're so good."
"My Everything"
