You And You Alone

The song 'You And You Alone' by UPPERROOM is a powerful expression of gratitude and worship. The lyrics convey a deep sense of thankfulness to the Lord, emphasizing the singer's choice to be grateful and to praise with an open heart. The repetition of 'I'm waking up to heaven, I'm waking up to You' suggests a spiritual awakening or renewal, where the singer is becoming more aware of the divine presence and the reality of heaven in their life.

The song's chorus, 'For always being good, thank You / For Your mercies that are new, thank You / In spirit and in truth, thank You / I'm telling You thank You,' reflects a recognition of God's constant goodness and mercy. The use of 'spirit and truth' alludes to a genuine, heartfelt worship that is aligned with the biblical call to worship God in spirit and truth (John 4:24). The gratitude expressed is not just for what God has done, but for who God is—faithful, loving, and unchanging.
