God with us

God with us God with us, I’ve heard it said before But what does it really mean to be with the Lord? Is He literally with me every second of everyday? Or is it merely metaphorical, meaning He’s always there when we need His strength? If I cry out now, if I shout with all my heart and all my soul? Will the one who hears a thousand beating hearts, listen to my words? Will He incline His ears to my humble plea? Will the hands that hold the heavens hold unto me God with us, I’ve heard said many times before Those simple words that somehow make sprits soar Inspires hope in those desolate The broken and shamed Brings joy and comfort to those who are hurting consumed with pain As I contemplate Your depth, Your intimacy I’m starting to see there’s simply more to You than one can see Perhaps the point isn’t to know and understand everything But to know the One from which all answers spring Perhaps the questions, Are just to lead us to the powerful, all-knowing King God with us, I think I finally understand It’s an answer to all the questions and doubts of man Simply put He is with us closer than we could know And your curiosity will only be sated when you follow Follow Him, with radical faith, abandonment, and trust Then you’ll find satisfaction and rest and in the One who showed great Love I spent my life seeking the answers to the questions of the universe, questions of life and love why we were put on the earth But the search turned out to be simpler than I could’ve guessed God’s with us, the answer never left.
