Jonathan McReynolds' song 'Whole,' featuring India.Arie, is a soulful gospel track about finding completeness and restoration in God. The lyrics use vivid imagery—birds without wings, trees without roots, stars that don't shine—to express how life feels incomplete without the Creator. McReynolds acknowledges his past brokenness and how God's love and direction made him whole, referencing the nursery rhyme about all the king's horses and men to emphasize that only God could put his life back together. The song is a heartfelt testimony of gratitude and faith, celebrating God's power to heal and restore.
Lyrics Verified by Editorial Team
What can make me whole again?
What is the meaning of a bird if it has no wings?
What is the meaning of a life if it has no dreams?
Where is the power of a tree if it has no roots?
What is the meaning of my life if there is no you?
You make me whole
You make me whole
You make me whole
You make me whole
What is the beauty in a star if it doesn't shine?
What is the value of a clock if it cant keep time?
I couldn't appreciate the light without the dark
Until you came in I was only using half my heart
But you made me whole
You make me whole
You make me whole
You make me whole
All the kings horses and all the kings men
Couldn't put my life together again
But when the king himself came in
He did, He did
Father, you did.
You made me whole
You made me whole
You take the broken and you make them whole
You made me whole
I was divided, defeated, flying blind 'till you gave me
Direction, wisdom and strengthened my convictions
I thank you
I thank you
'Cause your loving made me whole
