The Center Of It All
Song Meaning
Mac Powell walks through the whole biblical timeline in one verse — "we saw the Red Sea parted and Jericho's tumbling walls" — treating Exodus 14's escape and Joshua 6:20's collapsing walls not as separate miracle stories but as the same story told twice, proof that "love was leading us to freedom" long before the New Testament shows up in verse two.
"From the beginning to the ending, You're the center of it all... it's for You and it's from You" restates Colossians 1:17's claim that all things are held together in Christ, not decoration around the edges of history but its actual structure. The final verse moves from what God has done to what's still owed — "we will raise a victory song, singing Holy, Holy, Holy to the center of it all" — treating worship as the appropriate response to a story that was never really about anyone else.
From the coolness of the garden
To the chaos of the fall
When we saw the Red Sea parted
and Jericho’s tumbling walls
Love was leading us to freedom
You were teaching us Your song
Through every page of history
You’re right where you Belong
[Chorus]
From the beginning to the ending
You’re the center of it all
It’s for You and it’s from You
You and You alone
The Author of our story
Let it all be for Your Glory
From the beginning to the ending
You’re the center of it all
[Verse 2]
From the promise of the prophets
To the Virgin birth
The one who healed the blind man
Was the King that came to serve
On a cross, You bore my burden
Took my sin down to the grave
And on that Sunday morning
You rolled the stone away
[Bridge]
And the tears that we’ve been crying
You’re gonna wipe away
When you call us home to Heaven
And we see You face to face
We will join the saints and angles
We will raise a victory song
Singing Holy, Holy, Holy
To the center of it all
