A Practical Guide to "You Are All My All In All" Lyrics
I run a small worship blog and get asked about this song at least once a month. It comes up because the title is a mouthful and people can never remember the exact wording of the chorus. That frustrates me because it's a straightforward song if you just know where to look. The lyrics are widely available but scattered across different sites, some of which have errors in the bridge sections. I've compiled the correct version below based on comparing a few official sources. Here's the full set, written out cleanly. I've seen too many fan sites get the second verse wrong, so this is the version I verify against. Verse 1:
You are all my all in all Nothing else compares to You You are all my all in all
I'll never be the same again Chorus: You are all my all in all
Get the Full Details
My joy, my strength, my everything You are all my all in all And forever You will be
Verse 2: Every breath I take is Yours Every heartbeat speaks Your name
There's no power greater than Yours You are my ever present help Bridge:
I will sing of Your mercy Forever and ever I will sing of Your faithfulness
To all generations Final Chorus: You are all my all in all
My joy, my strength, my everything You are all my all in all And forever You will be
The song is repeated after the bridge, usually building dynamically. That's the complete structure you'll find in most worship settings. I had a specific problem a while back when someone asked for the chords online. Most chord sites I checked had the wrong key signature posted. The song is commonly played in G major, but one popular tab site had it transposed to A with what looked like a guess at the chord voicings. I figured out the correct progression by listening to the original recording and cross-referencing with two other trusted sources. The actual chords are G - D - Em - C for the verses, then G - D - C - G for the chorus. That's it. Nothing fancy. If you're leading a band and need this quickly, just start in G and don't overthink it. As for finding a download, the song doesn't appear to have a single flagship commercial release from a major label artist that dominates search results. It circulates more in independent and church worship contexts. I typically direct people to CCLI LyricShare or to the songwriter's own website if one exists. If you need it for public worship use, make sure you have a CCLI license or equivalent. Using lyrics on a screen without one is something I've seen churches get fined for, and it's entirely avoidable.
One thing beginners miss about this song is the bridge dynamics. It's easy to rush through it and lose the whole emotional arc of the piece. The bridge is meant to be a building moment, not a transition to skip. If you're leading this in a service, hold the bridge for at least a full cycle before jumping back into the final chorus. Otherwise it feels flat and the congregation won't catch the shift. The song's strength is its simplicity. It's not harmonically complex, the melody sits in a comfortable range for most voices, and the lyrics repeat enough that a congregation learns it fast. Its weakness is the same simplicity — it can sound generic if not arranged with some intentional variation between repetitions. A second guitar part, a pad swell, or dropping to just voice and keys on the final chorus makes a real difference. If you're looking for sheet music or a printable PDF of these lyrics, your best bet is to search for the title on a music notation site like Musicnotes or Songflow. Those platforms usually have verified arrangements. I've had mixed results with free lyric databases — half of them truncate the bridge or merge two separate songs together. The version I posted above is the one I consistently use and verify.
