O LORD, YOU ARE MY LIFE AND NEVER JUST A PART
No one means more to me
You take up all my heart
In You I’ve found the answers
How to live a life complete
To let Your perfect nature take up all of me
O Lord You are my life
You’re always in my thoughts
My mind is taken up with You
I dwell on what’s above
Without You I have nothing
But with You I am rich
It’s Your amazing nature that takes up all of me
You take up all of me (Repeat)

Biblical Message
Colossians 3:1–3 calls believers to set their minds on things above. Matthew 22:37 commands love for God with the whole heart, soul, and mind, and Galatians 2:20 describes a life centred in Christ.

Wholehearted faith grows through everyday priorities. What fills our thoughts, time, and choices reveals what occupies the centre of life.
