Where Are You
Chandler Moore Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Who can save me from this pain?
I am hurting
I have nothing left to give
My soul cries out
Where are you now?
In my hour of greatest need
I'm screaming out, a silent shout
I don't know where else to turn
Are you listening?
Are you listening? Are you listening?
'Cuz I am tired
There's a strength I used to know
Can't pray like I used to, 'cause I am weary
Nothing's changing
You can stop the show
My soul's cries out
Where are you now?
In my hour of greatest need
You've gone missing
I'm screaming out, a silent shout
I don't know where else to turn
Are you listening?
Are you listening?
Do you even hear me?
I'm sitting in my pain
Sitting in my stress
Are you listening?
I need to know
'Cos I feel alone
I'm sitting in my tears
You're sitting right here
It feels good just to know
You still hold me close
I'm sitting in my tears
You're sitting right here
It feels good just to know
You still hold me close
I'm sitting in my tears
And you're sitting right here
It feels good just to know
You still hold me close
I'm sitting in my tears, don't know what to say
But you're sitting right here
It feels good just to know
You still hold me close
You still hold me close
No-no-no, you still hold me close, ooh
You still hold me close
I'm sitting in my tears
And you're sitting right here
It feels good just to know
Father holds me close
Father holds me close
And I don't have the words to say
You still hold me close
My soul's cries out
Where are you now?
In my hour when I needed you most
Seems like you went missing
I'm screaming out
It's a silent shout
I don't know where else to turn
Are you listening?
Chandler Moore's "Where Are You" is a poignant and emotionally charged song that leaves an impression on the listener. The lyrics suggest that the singer is struggling with a crisis of faith and feels disconnected from God. The song begins with the singer expressing his discouragement and asking who can save him from his pain. He is hurting and feels like he has nothing left to give. The chorus repeats the phrase "Where are you now?" which the singer cries out in his hour of greatest need, feeling like God has gone missing. He screams out in a silent shout, not knowing where else to turn or whether God is even listening.
In the second verse, the singer says that he is tired and that a strength that he used to know has left him. He is too weary to pray as he once did, and nothing is changing. He feels like God can stop the show, yet nothing is happening. The singer repeats the chorus with its heart-wrenching plea for God to listen and hear his cries.
The final verse of the song shifts in tone as the singer acknowledges the presence of God. He says that he is sitting in his tears, and God is sitting right there with him. It feels good to know that God is holding him close, even when he doesn't have the words to say. The song ends with the singer repeating the chorus one final time, with a sense of hope that God has heard his cry and is listening.

Chandler Moore - Where Are You (Lyrics)
I’m discouraged
Who can save me from this pit
I am hurting
I have nothing left to give
My soul cries out
Where are You now
In my hour of greatest need
You’ve gone missing
I’m screaming out
A silent shout
I don’t know where else to turn
Are You listening?
Are You listening, are You listening?
Cause I am tired
There’s a strength I used to know
Can’t pray like I used to, cause
I am weary (Yeah)
Nothing’s changing
You can stop the show
My soul cries out
Where are You now
In my hour of greatest need
You’ve gone missing
I’m screaming out
A silent shout
I don’t know where else to turn
Are You listening?
Are You listening?
Do You even hear me?
I’m sitting in my pain
I’m sitting in my stress
Are You listening?
I need to know
Cause I feel alone
I’m sitting in my tears
And You’re sitting right here
Feels good just to know
That you still hold me close
I’m sitting in my tears
And You’re sitting right here
It feels good just to know
That You still hold me close
I’m sitting in my tears
And You’re sitting right here
It feels good just to know
You still hold me close
I’m sitting in my tears
Don’t know what to say
But You’re sitting right here
It feels good just to know
You still hold me close
You still hold me close
I’m not alone
You still hold me close
You still hold me close
I’m sitting in my tears
But You’re sitting right here
It feels good just to know
Abba holds me close
Father holds me close
When I don’t have the words to say
You still hold me close
My soul cries out
Where are You now?
In my hour when I needed You most
Seems like You went missing
I’m screaming out
It’s the silent shout
I don’t know where else to turn
Are You listening?

This is so unbelievably honest and true. Just because we are Christian doesn’t mean we don’t need to process things with God and cry out to him. In fact I think that’s what he wants instead of suppressing our emotions, He is the best friend and father who listens, truly listens and speaks. A living breathing God. Thank you Chandler for taking the shame away from being honest to God, for being vulnerable, and for sharing and encouraging those around you. Much love to you all, God hears, God sees, every moment and every hurt. Love is greater.

Can I like this comment like one trillion billion million times??? To ...worship in spirit and truth. There is nothing more delightful to Abba than when we go to Him in Honesty. He is an Awesome Father.. Hugs from this side of heaven. Jesus is coming. Get ready!! 😇
@livramos3540
@Edok3777 Amen and hallelujah!! 🙌
@cnealz
David was the biggest psalmist we see in scripture. How many times did he do this? Amen.
@niecyh2313
Emotions is not of the kingdom of God! Emotions come from the soul. God is not looking for emotions. He’s looking for a changed heart. I wish people would get that. People need to be healed from their soul. No emotions in the kingdom of God!
