This album has been in the making for a few years. The songs were written from the perspective of a songwriter who had just been lost in the darkness of pain, loss, and loneliness only to be rescued by the love of Christ. "All To You" is an album about surrender. It's an album about emerging from darkness into the light of freedom and love. "After going as low as life could take me, I found a place where I could reach new heights of joy and love. I found this place in total surrender to Jesus Christ." The album starts with the joyous announcement that Love Is Here! "Love Is Here" - by Billy Bryant Love is here, Love is waiting, Love is here and it is free Love is here, Love is ready, to take you in and set you free Love will set you free, Love will set you free... And Love is all around us, Love is all around us Jesus is Love! Love has always been, and Love always will be When everything is gone, Love remains Love came down, and gave His life away Against all odds love overcame Love overcame, death, hell, and the grave... Nothing can separate, nothing can separate us, from the Love of Jesus! The second song on the album is about finding what you've been searching for. "Where I Belong" - by Billy Bryant I've been there, running scared, afraid of what I had become Everything I thought I knew, had come unglued, and I was coming undone Time was going by so fast, I didn't want to be stuck in the past So I searched for home, somewhere I belong, somewhere beautiful... And then I found a place where love is not a game And everything that's old now becomes new A place where all my shame is completely washed away I found this place in You Everything is different now, and somehow I never cease to be amazed Just when I think I've got You now, got You figured out, You take my breath away And there's something about Your grace, Jesus, it makes me want to say That You are beautiful and glorious in every single way... I can't wait to tell the world about the joy I've found in You, Jesus Song number three is the song that sums up the whole album. It is a song of surrender. "I Surrender" - by Billy Bryant There was a time I had it all figured out Made my own choices, knew what it all was about Then it all fell apart, crumbled right inside my hands Now here I stand at the crossroads again And I'm stretching out my hands, and praying... I surrender, Jesus, I surrender all to You I surrender, Father, I surrender all to You Come take my heart and make it new Like only You can do You're not a stranger to this heartache I know You've stood right where I'm standing You felt a pain I'll never know And You want me to trust You enough to let it go So I'm letting go... All to thee, my blessed Savior, I surrender The fourth song brings some fun to the album! "Show The World" - by Billy Bryant Lord, it seems like such an easy thing, such an easy thing to do So why do I make it so difficult, letting others know how I feel about You Why do I make it so hard when its so easy all I want to do is... Clap my hands, stand to my feet And show the world what you've done for me Every time I try to make a plan with sophisticated words to say The only thing that I have ever found out was Sophistication just kept getting in the way I don't need a dictionary to tell them what you've done for me... No one else has ever loved me, the way You love me, Jesus No one else has ever touched me, the way You've touched me, Jesus No one else has ever came and died on the cross but Jesus And that's why... The next song is a song about repentance and change. "Turning" - by Billy Bryant Close my eyes, never to be the same All I am starts to fade away I see, I have made mistakes So here I am, I am Yours to take As I turn to You, turning... Open eyes, everything I see Is all brand new, I'm a brand new me Jesus, You are all I need Everything, You become to me As I turn to You, turning... Lift me up above it all Hear my prayer, Lord, hear my call I can't stay the way I am I need You to take my hand Show me things I've never seen Far beyond my wildest dreams This is what living must be Turning... And I know its going to take some time For me to be who I want to be But I'm ready to start Come and live inside my heart "This next song had me in tears as I was writing it. I almost broke my pencil when I reached the bridge and wrote the words 'He did not stay in the tomb!'" - Billy "Unconditional" - by Billy Bryant There He stood before them, A man who had done nothing wrong Still, he knew what had to be done, and it wouldn't be long He saw those who chose to mock Him, He saw those who wept for His pain He could've called on the angels of Heaven, but on the cross He remained And He died... And this day was a day of salvation And this day was a day of love untold And this day was a day of redemption When this man gave His life for this world There they stood before Him, as a spear drove into His side They saw His blood flowing, proving He had died The sky grew dark and the earth shook, the soldiers began to run The enemy called it a victory, but the only victory won Was the one won by the Son... And He did not stay in the tomb! Jesus ascended and He's coming back soon And He's calling out to you You're the reason, He did this all for you The next song is a song about longing for the peace only found in the arms of Jesus. "Never Let Me Go" - by Billy Bryant Here I am, I've stumbled from the way again Stumbled in myself again, I'm down Here I am, don't know where I am again I hope I find my way this time around And I, I'm asking You again... I need You to take my hand Jesus, take me by the hand and never let me go Here I am, broken down inside again With a pain I've tried to hide for so long Here I am, swollen eyes from tears I've cried I know I can't pretend I'm alright anymore And I, I'm crying out to You, sweet Jesus... And I need You to hold me in Your arms Jesus, hold me in Your arms and never let me go "The final song on this album is a song my dad wrote when I was just a little boy. This song has had such a huge impact on my life. This world is going to get cold...I need Jesus to be my covering. This recording is dedicated to my dad, Steve Bryant, and my family. I love you!" -Billy "Covering" - by Stephen A. Bryant, Sr. The winds of change buffet me, I bow my head and I struggle on To the left or right I cannot be, 'cause I'm on a straight and narrow road And though this road is rough, to my God I will sing Lord, Your strength will be enough Jesus, be my covering Be my covering when the strong winds blow Be my covering, Lord, and let me know That You will warm me when the world gets cold And strengthen me when my walk gets slow And this I pray more than anything Jesus, be my covering Pressures building on all sides, I hit my knees and I struggle on It's for my life that I fight, And I know this battle must be won And though this war is rough, to my God I will sing Lord, Your strength will be enough Jesus, be my covering I really hope that everyone enjoys this album as much as I enjoyed making it!
