All Falls Away
Ryan Stevenson's song addresses the struggle of feeling inadequate and hearing negative voices, but finds assurance in God's unwavering love. The lyrics speak to the fear of losing everything—reputation, success, and recognition—yet affirm that God's love remains constant. The song emphasizes that Jesus is the ultimate priority, and even when all else falls away, His love sustains. It's a message of hope and identity rooted in faith, encouraging listeners to find their worth in God rather than in worldly achievements.
I can only hear that I am damaged goods so many times
Before I start to believe it
Before I start to believe it
Sick and tired of the sting
The pain of the whispering, wish that I could relieve it
Will you help me release it
Help me get over these voices in my head
Help me remember what matters in the end
If it all falls away, and there's no one left who knows my name
If it all falls away, and my castles all go down in flames
If I break, I know that you'll love me just the same
If it all falls away
It ain't easy breaking through when you're 38
Coming up a dollar short and a decade late
Thy say the jury's still out, yeah time will tell
And I can't help but feel that they want me to fail, like -
Get in line and take a number, you're just another one-hit-wonder
But I know where I stand at the end of the day, cause at the end of the day
If it all falls away, and there's no one left who knows my name
If it all falls away, and my castles all go down in flames
If I break, I know that you'll love me just the same
If it all falls away
You're the only one that matters to me
Oh, Jesus you're the only one that I'm chasing...
Jesus, you're the only one that matters to me
Oh, Jesus you're the only one that I'm chasing...
If it all falls away, and there's no one left who knows my name
If it all falls away, and my castles all go down in flames
If I break, I know that you'll love me just the same
If it all falls away
