I lived
Heart on the wire
Hand in the fire for so long
But You've shown me better
A new kind of love
It's ever the one I want
I'm lifting you higher, higher
There's nothing that I'd rather do
A sweet elevation of praises
There's no one I love more than You
I never knew a love like this before
The kind of life that I could not find on my own
I've seen the world but I have never been so sure
That I want Your heart
God, I just want to be where You are
Where You are
I just want to be where You are
Your love, like nothing I've seen
My wildest of dreams don't come close
I've never known better than living like this
I cannot resist You Lord
I'm lifting you higher, higher
There's nothing that I'd rather do
A sweet elevation of praises
There's no one I love more than You
I never knew a love like this before
The kind of life that I could not find on my own
I've seen the world but I have never been so sure
That I want Your heart
God, I just want to be where You are
Where You are
I just want to be where You are
Where You are
I just want to be where You are
And after all this time with You by my side
I can't imagine what it'd be like on my own
I've made up my heart, this love is all I've got
And You're the only one I know worth living for
A sweet elevation of praises
There's no one I love more than You
I never knew a love like this before
The kind of life that I could not find on my own
I've seen the world but I have never been so sure
That I want Your heart
God I just want to be where You are
Where You are
I just want to be where You are
Where You are
I just want to be where You are
"Where You Are" is a powerful and uplifting song by Hillsong Young & Free that speaks to the longing we have to be in the presence of God. It is a declaration of our desire to be close to Him and to live our lives in His love. The song captures the essence of the Christian journey, a journey that leads us to seek and find our ultimate satisfaction and fulfillment in God alone.
The lyrics of the song paint a picture of a heart that has been transformed by the love of God. It speaks of a life that was once lived in darkness and confusion, but has now found hope and purpose in Jesus. The opening lines, "I lived, heart on the wire, hand in the fire for so long, but You've shown me better," convey a sense of surrender and realization that our own ways and desires are no match for the love and grace of God.
As the song progresses, it expresses a longing to be in the presence of God, to be where He is. The chorus repeats the desire to be with God, singing, "I just want to be where You are, where You are." This echoes the sentiment expressed in Psalm 42:1-2, "As the deer pants for streams of water, so my soul pants for you, my God. My soul thirsts for God, for the living God. When can I go and meet with God?"
The bridge of the song beautifully declares the incomparable love of God, singing, "Your love, like nothing I've seen, my wildest of dreams don't come close." It is a reminder that God's love surpasses anything we could ever imagine or hope for. It is a love that satisfies our deepest longings and fills the void in our hearts that nothing else can fill.
The song also speaks to the transformation that takes place when we encounter God's love. It acknowledges that we may have experienced the world and all its pleasures, but nothing compares to the love and presence of God. It brings to mind the words of the apostle Paul in Philippians 3:8, "I consider everything a loss because of the surpassing worth of knowing Christ Jesus my Lord."
"Where You Are" is not only a declaration of our desire to be in God's presence, but also a reminder of the joy and fulfillment that comes from living a life surrendered to Him. It is an invitation to experience the abundant life that Jesus promised in John 10:10, "I have come that they may have life, and have it to the full." It is a call to live in the love and grace of God, and to find our purpose and identity in Him alone.
In conclusion, "Where You Are" by Hillsong Young & Free is a powerful song that captures the heart's longing to be in the presence of God. It speaks to the transformative love of God and the satisfaction that comes from living a life surrendered to Him. It is a reminder that true fulfillment and joy can only be found in God, and a call to seek Him above all else. As we sing along to this song, may it ignite within us a passion to be where God is and to live our lives fully in His love.
