Malachi Soundtrack: All of Me {Matt Hammitt}

Matt is the lead singer of our favorite band Sanctus Real. He and his wife welcomed a baby boy--Bowen--into their family who was diagnosed in utero with heart disease.  Malachi and Bowen underwent the same initial open heart "repair" (which would need to be followed with future surgeries).  This song was written after they received Bowen's diagnosis and I find it more than fitting for our situation.  I have yet to be able to actually sit and listen through the entire thing--it still brings back pretty raw feelings, mostly of missing my baby.  The lyrics are posted below. 


All of Me {Matt Hammitt}
 
Afraid to love something that could break
Could I move on if you were torn away?
I’m so close to what I can’t control
Can’t give you half my heart and pray He makes you whole

You’re gonna have all of me
You’re gonna have all of me
You’re worth every falling tear
You’re worth facing any fear

You’re gonna know all my love
Even if it’s not enough
Enough to mend our broken hearts
But giving you all of me is where I’ll start

I won’t let sadness steal you from my arms
I won’t let pain keep you from my heart
I’ll trade the fear of all that I could lose
For every moment I’ll share with you

You’re gonna have all of me
You’re gonna have all of me
You’re worth every falling tear
You’re worth facing any fear

You’re gonna know all my love
Even if it’s not enough
Enough to mend our broken hearts
But giving you all of me is where I’ll start

Heaven brought you to this moment
It’s too wonderful to speak
You’re worth all of me
You’re worth all of me

Let me recklessly love you
Even if I bleed
You’re worth all of me
You’re worth all of me
