Here With Me
Tim Hughes Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
The path unsure
The sun is hidden by the storms
I look to heaven
And cry to Thee
Oh God be here with me
When darkness deepens
The path unsure
I look to heaven
And cry to Thee
Oh God be here with me
In every breath
Every joy and tear
Every passing hour
Let me know You're near
In life, in death
For eternity
Oh God be here with me
When faith is shaken
When fears surround
My feet will stand on solid ground
In every season
My song will be
Oh God be here with me
In every breath
Every joy and tear
Every passing hour
Let me know You're near
In life, in death
For eternity
Oh God be here with me
And in that moment
We're face to face
I will not need these eyes of faith
Forever after, God I will see
That You've always been with me
You've always been with me
In every breath
Every joy and tear
Every passing hour
Let me know You're near
In life, in death
For eternity
Oh God you are here with me
In every breath
Every joy and tear
Every passing hour
Let me know You're near
In life, in death
For eternity
Oh God you are here with me
Oh God you are here with me
The lyrics of Tim Hughes's song Here With Me express the comfort and strength that comes from relying on God's presence during life's struggles.

Love the song..... Don't understand the video.

Guys, stop overthinking it. This is a lyric video, and a very typical one at that. No story, no hidden meaning, just the song and the words on the screen. Nothing more, nothing less!
