Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Sovereign Lord, let your will be done
I trust you more than anyone
Your faithfulness like the rising sun
Spirit come have your way in me
Give me ears to hear, give me eyes to see
Show me who I'm supposed to be
I find you, I find you
When I seek you with my whole heart
Seek you with my whole heart
And I find that You have never left my side
Even when I felt so far away
You were always there with me
I can't be silent
When I think about your faithfulness to me
You're not far away
You are with me here and now
And there's nothing that can separate me
I cannot be separated
From your love
So I come boldly to the throne of grace
In worship
You're not far away
You are with me here and now
And there's nothing that can separate me
I cannot be separated
From your love
So I come boldly to the throne of grace
To seek your face, my God
My God

Tão distante
Pai Deus, deixe seu reino vir
Soberano Senhor, deixe a sua vontade ser feita
Eu confio em você mais do que ninguém
Sua fidelidade como o sol nascente
Espírito venha ter o seu caminho em mim
Me dê ouvidos para ouvir, me dê olhos para ver
Mostre-me quem eu deveria ser
Sem você eu sou incompleta
Eu te encontro, eu te encontro
Quando eu te busco com todo o meu coração
Busco-te com todo o meu coração
E eu acho que você nunca saiu do meu lado
Mesmo quando me senti tão longe
Você sempre esteve comigo
Não posso ficar em silêncio
Quando penso em sua fidelidade para mim
Você não está longe
Você está comigo aqui e agora
E não há nada que possa me separar
Não posso ser separado
Do seu amor
Então eu venho corajosamente ao trono da graça
No culto
Você não está longe
Você está comigo aqui e agora
E não há nada que possa me separar
Não posso ser separado
Do seu amor
Então eu venho corajosamente ao trono da graça
Para buscar seu rosto, meu Deus
Meu Deus

Que lindo, fico pensando como Deus pode ser tão amoroso assim... Como Ele pode nos amar tanto? Por que Ele decidiu nos amar? Por que Ele quer tanto que saibamos que Ele é o nosso Papai Eterno?
Enquanto tento responder... Tudo o que Ele me pede é que eu aceite.
Obrigada Papai, obrigada por me amar, eu não entendo o porquê, tem dias que eu te deixo, que eu simplesmente desobedeço, que eu te troco, fico sem orar e Tu contínua a mostrar que me Ama.
Papai eu te agradeço pela tua graça, obrigada, obrigada, obrigada meu Papai Querido por me aceitar.
Eu confesso que sou pecadora e tudo o que quero é viver pq ara Ti, estou disposta para as renúncias, me ajude a largar meus velhos hábitos.
Em nome de Jesus.
Amém (个_个)

I discovered you last year. Your music helped me push through my grueling senior semester. I felt Christ’s presence in your music whether it was during exhausting late evenings when I felt numb & disappointed or early mornings when I found it impossible to get up in fear of failing another day. Your music reminded me to slow down and refocus on God’s mighty presence and grace during the storm and to walk with confidence and ease. And your music is comforting me today. Just wanted to say thank you.
@paulaeligado8399
and I’ll be praying for you!

Wow. Similar to you, I found Jonathan's music last year during my senior year of college. At the time I was listening to a lot of mainstream worship and was in need of something brand new. Happened to come across his music, and felt so refreshed. There was something so steady and easy about his music that filled my nights with peace and reduced so much of my stress. Graduating would've been a lot harder without these songs and they still get me through all kinds of days, even now. Really cool that we can relate! <3

@Alyssa Vera @Paula Eligado That's so awesome! Same here, doing schoolwork at home has been so stressful and I've been overhwhelmed constantly. But I find a lot of peace in this music :) God's hand at work in music brings me so much peace, and you can tell when His love is in the song :) I also recommend listening to Josh Garrels, Eris and Evan Ford <3 God Bless you sisters in Christ!
