This Is Where I Belong
Housefires Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
This is where I belong, held by the arms of love
Oh this is where I belong, held by the arms of love
Love don't let me go, don't let go
This is where I belong, held by the arms of love
Love don't let me go, don't let go
This is where I belong, held by the arms of love
Love don't let me go, don't let go
Love don't let me go, don't let go
This is where I belong, held by the arms of love
Love don't let me go, don't let go
This is where I belong, held by the arms of love
The opening line "Spontaneous worship" provides context to the rest of the lyrics. Housefires is a band that is well-known for their live worship sessions, where they spontaneously create music, oftentimes with no pre-written lyrics. "This is where I belong" is a declaration of belonging to God, and being held by the arms of love indicates the singer's trust in God. They are finding comfort and security in God's love, and don't want to let go. The repetition of the line "Love don't let me go, don't let go" emphasizes the singer's plea to God.
The phrase "held by the arms of love" is significant as it brings to mind the biblical depiction of God as a loving father who holds his children. This is a common theme in Housefires' music as they aim to create music that expresses biblical truths in a relatable way. The idea of belonging is also a recurring topic in their music, as they encourage listeners to find their identity in God. The line "This is where I belong" is a reminder to the singer and the listener that their identity is not found in their circumstances, but rather in their relationship with God.
Overall, "This Is Where I Belong" is a simple yet powerful song about finding security and identity in God's unconditional love. Housefires has managed to capture the essence of what it means to worship God and the lyrics have resonated with listeners all around the world.

Have to agree. So simple & pure, not overly demonstrative, just melting into the presence of our almighty loving heavenly Father. Something we all need...to enter His presence, a safe place of peace & security in the midst of a raging world in times of uncertainty, tragedy & tough life circumstances. Help us Lord to seek you and hold onto Your presence no matter what life throws at us.

1Jn 5:5: "Who is he that overcometh the world, but he that believeth that Jesus is the Son of God?"
