This week’s featured song story comes to us from Nichole Nordeman. We’re excited to share with you the story behind her song “You’re Here,” a song about God seeking and finding us wherever we are.
“It’s not necessarily about seeking and finding God. It’s more about God seeking and finding us wherever we are. I’m so deeply encourage that my relationship with the Lord is not contingent on finding him in certain places or spaces. Wherever I am He is with me. In the silence, in the questions, the hymns and the tears and the joy, God is always with us and there’s no place we can go to escape his presence.” – Nichole Nordeman

“You’re Here” Lyrics
In my younger years
I found You beneath the steeple
In the faces of Your people
Could hear You in the hymns
In my younger years
Then later on
I met You on a road, once winding
Seeking but not always finding
With the building gone
You still loved me later on
Anywhere You are is sanctuary
Everywhere You are is where I’m free
You’re here, You’re here
The only invitation that You need
Is the very air I breathe
You’re here, You’re here
I will never be alone
You will be always be my home
‘Cause You’re here
In the same small room
Staring at the life I’ve chosen
Hoping that the door’s still open
To give my heart to You
In this same small room
What could separate
Me from all the ways You love me?
Nothing below or above me
Could get in the way
This is what You say
