Everything I Do


Can somebody tell me why this song is not a worship song in every church on the planet? It's absolutely beautiful!

The song comes from the 1991 movie Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves. We've all heard it before. Everyone is familiar with it. Our only problem with it is that we think it's a love song between Robin Hood and Maid Marian. What if it was actually a worship song written for Jesus - a duet between us and Jesus.

First verse and chorus:

(sung by Jesus to us) 
Look into my eyes
You will see
What you mean to me
Search your heart
Search your soul
And when you find me there
You'll search no more

Don't tell me it's not worth tryin' for
You can't tell me it's not worth dyin' for
You know it's true
Everything I do
I do it for you

Second verse and chorus:

(Jesus)
Look into your heart
You will find
There's nothin' there to hide
(us)
Take me as I am
Take my life
(Jesus)
I would give it all
I would sacrifice
(both)
Don't tell me it's not worth fightin' for
I can't help it there's nothin' I want more
You know it's true
Everything I do
I do it for you

What an amazing worship song! "Everything I do, I do it for You."

May we approach each day with those words in mind. Let us turn our everyday, mundane tasks into worship.

"Whatever you do, work at it with all your heart, as working for the Lord, not for human masters, since you know that you will receive an inheritance from the Lord as a reward. It is the Lord Christ you are serving." - Colossians 3:23-24
