With All Of Who I Am Song | Donal Morrissey

With All Of Who I Am

The Inspiration

“With All of Who I Am” was inspired by a deep sense of gratitude for a life well-lived, grounded in personal integrity, hard work, and lifelong learning. Written as an autobiographical reflection, the song looks back on the arc of life, from the innocence and lessons of childhood to mastering a trade and taking pride in one’s vocation. It captures the spirit of someone who approached every stage of life with wholehearted commitment, emphasising that doing one’s honest best and staying open to growth are the keys to a meaningful journey.

The song also stems from a profound spiritual appreciation for life’s quiet blessings and the power of hope. Rather than focusing on worldly accolades, the lyrics highlight the joy found in simple daily efforts, generosity, and faith. By framing hope as “life’s anchor” and acknowledging divine guidance along the way, the inspiration behind the song centers on cherishing remaining time with a peaceful heart, offering an enduring message of gratitude for every experience that shapes who we are.

First Verse
I observed, while still a child,
That life was sweet, and I was spoiled,
I learned the things that I should know,
Should I say yes, or maybe no,
I majored well, I earned my trade,
It served me well; I made the grade.
Ever prepared to learn all I can,
With All of Who I Am.

Second Verse
All inspired to get things done,
To love my job, to have some fun,
When work inspired, ‘twas right for me.
It let me see, why work was key,
I did my best, with what I’d got,
Survived it all, that meant a lot,
Ever prepared to do all I can,
With All of Who I Am.

Chorus
I’ve lived and loved, all times abreast
I thank the Lord, I’ve been so blest,
I gave my best, gave some away,
Life gives it back, God’s silent way,
This is my life, my honest best,
My time has flown; I’ll treasure the rest.
Ever mindful, thank God while I can,
With All of Who I Am.

Third Verse
Time has passed, enjoyed it all,
Rejoiced in hope, was my soul’s call,
Hope shines a light so we can see,
The light of life, for you and me.
Believe in hope, it’s life’s anchor,
And thank the Lord, He’s our mentor,
Ever give thanks, with joy, while I can.
With All of Who I Am.
