as a family
Drawing near with expectation
Knowing that you're here
Right where we are
Right where we are
the glory of your light is shining
Right where we are
Right where we are
the mercy of your love is reaching
into every waiting heart
Right where we are
Lord, we know your word is with us
In our hearts and mouths
and your Holy Spirit fills us
As we praise you now
(Repeat 2x)
Right where we are 3x

This song literally saved my life. When I came to the Lord in 2003, it quickly became apparent that my life was an utter disgrace and total mess. I began to see who I really was without the Lord, and it was ugly. This song ministered to me on a nightly basis. I cannot tell you how many tears have been shed through the speaking section and prayer. It gave me hope when I had no hope. I began to see the goodness of God's heart towards me. He was not content in keeping me in the mess I created in my life, but in grace led me into the light. I cannot thank Rick and Cathy, but more so God for everything this song has done for my life. It's a true blessing.
