Meet Me Here
Acquire The Fire Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
let it fall
meet me, meet me
meet with me
here i am desperate for you to meet me here
here i stand reaching out for you to meet me here
as i fall down on my knees
lord i know that as i wait
you will draw near
oh lord meet me here
never far away
ever close to me
your word is always near
in my heart you will always be
i fall down on my knees
i am waiting
im ready lord
fall on me
let your peace flow in me
The opening lines of "Meet Me Here" suggest a yearning for inner peace and a craving for something greater than oneself. The invitation to "breathe your peace in me" conveys a recognition of the potential for spiritual transformation. The call to "meet with me" can be interpreted as an invitation to connect with a divine presence or to experience a sense of transcendence.
The chorus emphasizes the singer's desperation for connection with a higher power. The repetition of the phrase "here I am," conveys a sense of vulnerability and surrender. The phrase "reaching out for you to meet me here" suggests that the singer is actively seeking the connection they desire. The plea "lord I know that as I wait, you will draw near" indicates a sense of faith and trust in the process of spiritual growth - that it will happen in its own time and through its own means.
The final verse speaks to the ongoing nature of the struggle for inner peace. The singer expresses willingness to wait and remain open to divine intervention. They acknowledge that their human efforts may not be enough to achieve the state they seek, and that they are dependent on a force outside themselves. Ultimately, the song offers a message of hope and a reminder that peace is always within reach.

2002 was the first time I went to ATF, it was perhaps one of the most life changing events I have ever experienced; even now when I'm in my twenties, these songs have the ability to transport me to a time when my soul shined bright within me. Thank God that light is still shining.

Who is the artist or band of this song? I remember attending ATF long ago and this song has made an imprint on me.

This was the Acquire the Fire tour band. The guy is Micah Tawlks and the girl is Lindsay (I'm drawing a blank on her last name). This song brings back so many happy memories for me.
