[Verse 1]
I wanted to find
Where I was going
Everything I tried
It took me nowhere
I was so tired of just living my life
Waiting for a sign
You came to my side
Gave me direction
Strong on the inside
I shine for You Lord
Now it's my time
Now I've made up my mind
To be all You want for me
All I do
Is live my life for You
I know it's true
I'll never let You go
All I do
I'd anything for You
Everything is in Your Hands
So I get up
Get up and praise You
And I know where I'm going
I know where I'm going
All I Do
Song Meaning
Hillsong United keeps "All I Do" short and direct, spending its brief verses naming exhaustion before naming resolve — "I was so tired of just living my life, waiting for a sign... now it's my time, now I've made up my mind." The turning point isn't dramatic; it's described as an arrival at a decision already overdue.
"You came to my side, gave me direction, strong on the inside" credits an outside presence for the shift in resolve rather than crediting willpower discovered independently. The repeated title phrase, "all I do is live my life for You," keeps the commitment total rather than partial, and "everything is in Your hands" hands the outcome over as completely as the effort itself.
"So I get up, get up and praise You, and I know where I'm going" closes the song on repeated motion and certainty, replacing the aimlessness of the opening lines with the opposite condition entirely.
