Die Hintergrundgeschichte zum Song: I wrote this song during the second lockdown. At the time, the Lord was really teaching me the lesson that happiness is found in him, not in material items or activities, that he is the only person that can completely fill me and satisfy my soul. I wrote this song as a response to that lesson, and to express the truth I discovered from that. The truth being that if we give everything to God and live selflessly, following him wherever he leads us, we will feel whole and fulfilled. Our vocation as Christians is to love and follow in the Lords footsteps, and my song is all about becoming selfless and humble like the Lord was, and finding our true calling.

Lyrics: I could have fine Jewellery, I could have long hair, I could have a designer dress that every girl would wear, I could fall for someone, Have a family, I could go on holidays full of fun with no routine, But it wouldn't satisfy my soul. I could wear the latest, The fashion of the week, I could join an orchestra and play a symphony, I could go abroad and journey the whole world, But that would never glorify the Lord like he deserves, And it wouldn't satisfy my soul. If I could give everything up for the glory of God, If I could live with the purpose of spreading his love, If I could sacrifice myself, like he did for me, By doing that, I will be free. I could be successful, Have a bank of gold, Be on the front pages of magazines like seventeen and vogue, I could have a mansion, A driveway of five cars, I could go to space and walk around on planet Mars, But it wouldn't satisfy my soul. If I could give everything up for the glory of God, If I could live with the purpose of spreading his love, If I could sacrifice myself, like he did for me, By doing that, I will be free. Oh, and the temptation keeps coming, Distracting me with what the world has to offer, Oh, but I have the choice, To follow you, to follow you. If I could give everything up for the glory of God, If I could live with the purpose of spreading his love, If I could sacrifice myself, like he did for me, By doing that, I will be free.
