Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
But all I'm touching is air
I'm listening to hear You
So I will know You're there
And I don't want to miss another second right now
So I should take some time to be with you
Show me the things I
I want to see more of
Who You are
Show me in ways I
Can understand so
I'll see your face and You can
Show me who
You are
I let go of my fear
I need to take in Your Word
When you speak it's so clear
How many times til I learn?
And I don't want to miss another second right now
Leave me with nothing, but what is real
So lead me cause I wanna be faithful
Believe me - I'm desiring You
Hold me cause I wanna be able
To feel You even more than I'd
The lyrics of Marlene Brehm's song Who You Are speak of a yearning to connect with a higher power, to know and understand God in a personal way.

This is followed by a refrain that echoes the same sentiment, highlighting a desire to know more about who God is.
The second verse takes on a more introspective tone, with the singer acknowledging that they need to let go of their fears and take in God's Word. They desire to learn from God, and see His face more clearly, asking to be shown in ways they can understand. The song concludes with a resolve to be faithful, to believe and desire God, and to be held close to Him.
The overall message of the song is one of seeking and yearning for a personal and intimate relationship with God. The lyrics speak to the universal human experience of feeling disconnected or lost, and expresses a longing to know and experience something greater than oneself.
