In You
MercyMe Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I lay my life in the palm of your hand
I'm constantly drawn to you O Lord
In ways I cannot comprehend
It's the creator that calls the created
The maker beckoning the made
The bride finding what she's always waited for
You knew when the hungry feast at the table
The blind frozen by colors in view
The lame will dance, they'll dance for they are able
And the weary find rest
O the weary find rest in you
It's no secret that we don't belong here
Though set apart by the grace of you
We look for the day when we go to a place
Where the old become brand new
You knew when the hungry feast at the table
The blind frozen by colors in view
The lame will dance, they'll dance for they are able
And the weary find rest
O the weary find rest in you
Where the hungry feast at the table
The blind frozen by colors in view
The lame will dance, they'll dance for they are able
And the weary find rest
O we will find rest in you
Na na na na naa naa na na na na
We will find hope
(Na na na na)
O we will find rest
(Na na na na)
You are our refuge
(Na na na na)
You are our sanctuary
(Na na na na)
We come you lord
MercyMe's song In You is a beautiful expression of faith that speaks about the hope and surrender we find in God. The lyrics speak of putting one's hope and life in God's hands and being drawn to Him in ways that cannot be understood. The chorus talks about the promise of finding rest in God, where the hungry will feast at the table, the blind will see colors, the lame will dance, and the weary will find peace. The song acknowledges the inherent sense of not belonging in the world, but being set apart by the grace of God. It looks forward to the day when everything old becomes brand new and we can finally rest in God's presence forever.
What makes this song particularly beautiful is the imagery it evokes, painting a picture of a grand feast where everyone is welcome, where physical limitations disappear, and where weariness fades away. The song speaks to our deepest longings for rest and peace, and the hope that can only be found in God. It is a reminder that we are not alone, and that we can always turn to God for comfort and strength.
