I was having a worship session today, and this song popped into my upcoming songs. I remember reading the lyrics as us reaching out to god, asking him where are you and then this being his response.

I just want to bless someone with these lyrics.

VERSE 1:

I tempered the storm

Though your faith was small

I prayed while you slept

And the night waged war

We stood in the fire

And we walked on sea

And we drank of the wine

That was made of Me

PRE-CHORUS:

Don’t turn your eyes from Me

For My love won’t be undone

Don’t hide your face from Me

For My light has surely come

Surely come surely come

VERSE 2:

I carried that cross

And I felt your pain

I took up your crown

And I wore your shame

And death was a fire

And its teeth were grim

But I left it behind

A‘Long with all your sin

CHORUS:

Lift up your eyes and see

Heaven is closer than you know

Lift up your voice and sing

Know that My love won’t let you go

And I won’t forsake you

Lift up your eyes and see

Heaven is closer than you know

Know I’ll never leave you

So lift up your voice and sing

Know that My love won’t let you go

RESPONSE:

Lord I hear You I know You’re there

Closer now than my skin and bones could dare

Breathing deep within me

You are always with me

I can see You where eyes can’t stare

Brighter now than the sun could ever dare

Breathing all around me

God I know You’re with me here

Lord I hear You I know You’re there

Closer now than my skin and bones could dare

Breathing deep within me

You are always with me

I can see You where eyes can’t stare

Brighter now than the sun could ever dare
