This worship song came out of a time of reflection. As I pondered the struggle between living in this world yet being not of it, I found myself crying out to the Lord to help me give my all to Him. Like so many times, I took hold of my guitar and began to sing whatever words flowed out. Meant to be nothing more than a prayer, this song was not just a commitment to what my heart so desperately desired, but also a reflection on the times when the Lord waited on me.

So often, even when we are spending large amounts of time at church, we can get sidetracked and distracted from our relationship with God. We get busy with activites that are about God, even spend large amounts of time "worshipping" Him, and yet we can miss the very essence of who He is and who we are to be to Him.

As Christians, we are in an intimate relationship with Christ. In earthly marriage it would be unthinkable to spend your time waxing your spouse's car, but never spend time with them or talk with them. Unfortunately, this happens all the time in our relationship with the Lord. We spend time in service to Him, but not in relationship. To worship God is to be a constant activity in our lives. In Colossians 3:17 we are told "And whatever you do in word or deed, do all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God the Father through Him." It is interesting that what follows this verse is a list of submissions, to husbands, wives, parents, etc. It is a reminder that our daily actions are worship to the Lord and that they are God given. It is all of us that the Lord desires.

In "All That I Am" we find surrender of ourselves into a life of submission to the Lord and a desire to be in true relationship with Him. It is also a reminder that the Lord is always there, even when we ignore Him and are driven by our flesh. He knows that we are a part of Him and that we will eventually come to our senses and find that we have neglected our true relationship with Him.
