Waste It All

Kim Walker-Smith's song 'Waste It All' is a deeply emotional and spiritual piece that explores themes of redemption, grace, and unconditional love. The lyrics begin with a sense of shame and unworthiness, as the narrator reflects on a debt they could not pay and a heartache they could not fill. This sets the stage for a powerful transformation, as the narrator experiences a divine intervention that lifts them from their despair. The 'priceless gift' mentioned is a metaphor for the grace and love that the narrator receives, which they feel unworthy of holding onto.

The chorus of the song is a declaration of the narrator's desire to 'waste it all' on the divine presence that saved them. This phrase, 'waste it all,' is a powerful metaphor for complete and utter devotion. The narrator is willing to pour out their heart's perfume, a reference to the biblical story of Mary anointing Jesus' feet with expensive perfume, symbolizing an act of worship and love. The narrator doesn't care if they are called a fool for this extravagant display of devotion; their love and gratitude are too overwhelming to be contained.

As the song progresses, the narrator describes the transformative power of this divine love. Their head is lifted, their tears are wiped away, and their heart is unlocked by whispers of grace. The song culminates in a vow to spend all their days giving back the love they received. The final verses emphasize surrender and the overwhelming nature of this love, which is described as 'too much' to be contained. The song is a beautiful expression of spiritual devotion and the transformative power of unconditional love.
