Since then Asher and his wife moved back home to Utah where they grew up. Playing music together isn't new to us, we've worked together on several projects, but Loud Harp came together almost entirely by accident. About a year ago we got together for a weekend to write songs for Asher's band, Seafinch, but instead found ourselves writing songs in response to God's overwhelming presence in the midst of a season of doubt. As a result every song on the record is drenched in the theme of trusting in God's unending goodness and love. We pray that God uses these songs to draw near to you as He drew near to us during that time, ministering His peace and comfort through His presence.

It's You
Loud Harp Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Son of man reach out your hand & touch my weary heart
Son of man reach out your hand & heal my failing heart

It's you that I need
It's you that I need

Son of man reach out your hand & touch my weary mind
Son of man reach out your hand & heal my tired soul

It's you that I need
It's you that I need

Son of man reach out your hand & fill my heart with faith
Son of man reach out your hand & fill my heart with hope & joy

You set me free

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of the song 'Hide Me Away' by Loud Harp convey the profound desire for healing, comfort, and hope in the midst of weariness, fatigue, and distress. The repeated call to "Son of man" reflects the need for divine intervention and the recognition that there is no other source of true assistance. The plea for touching, healing, and filling links physical, emotional, mental, and spiritual needs, highlighting the holistic nature of human existence and the completeness of God's provision.

The refrain "It's you that I need" reinforces the central message of the song, that nothing and no one else can satisfy or sustain the deepest longings of the heart. The use of second-person address further emphasizes the personal and intimate nature of the relationship between the singer and the divine figure. The final line, "You set me free," suggests a release from bondage and a sense of liberation that comes from surrendering to the Son of Man.
