Everything Both Great And Small – Hymn Lyric
Everything, both great and small
Christ gives me now to do;
Jesus lives and gives me all-
And more-makes all things new.
Refrain:
Jesus gives me all,
All the grace I need;
Jesus lives and gives me all,
Yes, everything I need.
When our Savior we receive
As prophet, priest and king,
We by faith divinely live,
And works, His tribute bring.
[Refrain]
Christ in us doth live and move,
We’re branches of the vine;
Jesus, word of life and love,
In faith and works combine.
[Refrain]
Meaning of Everything Both Great And Small
Everything, both great and small, is a gift from Christ. In our daily lives, we may not always realize the magnitude of these gifts, but Christ is constantly working in our lives, providing us with everything we need.
As the hymn states, Jesus lives and gives us all. This means that He is present in every aspect of our lives, from the smallest details to the grandest endeavors. No matter how insignificant something may seem, Christ is there, working behind the scenes, making all things new.
When we receive Jesus as our Savior, we experience a profound transformation. He takes on the roles of prophet, priest, and king in our lives. As a prophet, Jesus guides us and reveals divine truths to us. As a priest, He intercedes on our behalf and provides a way for us to have a relationship with God. And as a king, He reigns and rules over every aspect of our lives.
This relationship with Christ is not just an abstract concept. It has practical implications for how we live our lives. Through faith in Christ, we are infused with His life and power. We become like branches connected to a vine, drawing sustenance and strength from Him. This union with Christ empowers us to bear fruit in our lives, to bring forth good works as a tribute to Him.
But what does it mean to bring forth good works? It means that our faith in Christ is not just an intellectual belief, but it is lived out in our actions. Our faith and works are inseparable. Just as Jesus is both the Word of life and the embodiment of love, so too should our faith be expressed in loving actions towards others.
When we say that Jesus gives us all, it means that He provides us with all the grace we need. Grace is the unmerited favor of God, His freely given love and forgiveness. It is through this grace that we are able to receive salvation and eternal life. But grace is not just a one-time gift, it is an ongoing supply that sustains us throughout our lives.
In the mundane moments of our lives, when we may feel that nothing significant is happening, we can take comfort in the fact that Christ is there, working behind the scenes. He is the one who gives us the strength and ability to carry out the tasks set before us. Whether it be completing a homework assignment, helping a friend, or simply being kind to others, Christ provides us with the grace and power to do all these things.
In a world that often values grand accomplishments and visible success, it can be easy to overlook the significance of the small things. But as the hymn reminds us, everything, both great and small, is a gift from Christ. Whether it be a friendly smile, a helping hand, or a word of encouragement, these seemingly small gestures can have a profound impact on others.
Furthermore, it is in the small and ordinary moments of our lives that we often find the greatest opportunities for growth and transformation. It is in these moments that we can practice patience, kindness, and selflessness. It is in these moments that we can learn to trust in Christ and rely on His grace.
So let us not underestimate the importance of the small things in life. Let us recognize that every moment, every task, and every interaction is an opportunity to experience the love and grace of Christ. Let us allow Him to make all things new in our lives, both great and small. And let us remember that Jesus gives us all, all the grace we need, everything we need to live a life that honors and glorifies Him.
