You Deserve
Unveiling Love's Triumph: Hillsong United's 'You Deserve' Revealed
Lyrics
What is this love given to us
Questioning the nature of the love received
That saved my life through selfless sacrifice
Recognizing how this love saved the singer's life through a selfless act of sacrifice
Although we fail the cross prevails
Acknowledging human failures contrasted against the enduring success of the sacrifice on the cross
Forgiveness stands
Highlighting the standing nature of forgiveness
You take me back again
Expressing the experience of being taken back or accepted again despite faults
You've shown me life
Gratitude for being shown a new way of living
You've opened my eyes
Acknowledging a change in perspective or understanding due to this revelation
So I give You my praise
Committing to offering praise to the subject of the song
Yeah I give You my all
A declaration of giving everything to the subject
You've shown me life
Reiteration of being shown a new way of living
You've opened my eyes
Reaffirmation of a change in perspective or understanding
To the truth that there's no greater love
Acknowledging the truth of an incomparable love
Now in the darkness God's light shines
Contrasting the darkness with the presence of God's light
Christ forever glorified
Emphasizing the eternal glorification of Christ
So come on come on sing out to God
Encouraging others to join in singing praises to God
Now with all we've got
Invoking a call to give their best in worship
We live for You our God
Stating the dedication to living for God
Salvation's strong in Christ alone
Acknowledging the strength of salvation in Christ alone
The Saviour King alone in victory
Highlighting Christ as the victorious and sole Savior King
I step aside give You my life
Willingness to surrender one's life for the subject to act
For You to move do what You want to do
Granting permission for the subject to take action as desired
I can't imagine a life without You without You
Inability to envision life without the subject
'Cause it's all for You
Stating that everything is done for the subject
Yeah it's all for You
Reiteration that everything is dedicated to the subject
God
Affirmation of the subject as God
