Here With Me
MercyMe Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Every single day
To meet you in this place
And see you face to face
Will you show me?
Reveal yourself to me
Because of your mercy
And I can feel your presence here with me
Suddenly I'm lost within your beauty
Caught up in the wonder of your touch
Here in this moment I surrender to your love
You're everywhere I go
I am not alone
You call me as your own
To know you and be known
You are holy
And I fall down on my knees
I can feel your presence here with me
Suddenly I'm lost within your beauty
Caught up in the wonder of your touch
Here in this moment I surrender to your love
I surrender to your grace
I surrender to the one who took my place
I can feel your presence here with me
Suddenly I'm lost within your beauty
Caught up in the wonder of your touch
Here in this moment I surrender:
I can feel your presence here with me
Suddenly I'm lost within your beauty
Caught up in the wonder of your touch
Here in this moment I surrender to your love

I used to listen to this on cd when I was a kid and I'd fall asleep to it. I also used to cry to it because I really did have faith as a child. I fell away from God for a number of years but recently felt absolutely compelled to come back to Jesus. Best decision I've ever made. I've given up everything for Jesus and I'm not lacking a single thing!

Welcome back! Let's celebrate!

This song gets me every time. My husband passed away in December while watching our toddler. I turned to God to help me through my grief.
