Inspired by lyrics to “Everything” by Daniel Nahmod:
“All that I see, all that I do, all that I am is created by You.
Whatever I know, know to be true, whatever I wonder, the answer is You . . . .
Every song that I sing, every last melody, every prayer that I say, every night every day. You are everything . . . .
Whom do I love and open up to? Whom do I worship? My God, always You. Whom do I worship and give myself to? Whom do I worship, My God, always You . . . .
Every breath that I breathe, You are everything.
Every word that I speak, You are everything.
Every sight that I see, You are everything
Every thought, every dream, You are everything . . . .
Nothing outside of your circle, nothing outside of your sight.
Nothing outside of your circle, nothing outside of your light.”
