Familiar
Embracing Grace: A Journey of Rediscovery in Katie Lighty's 'Familiar'
Lyrics
You stopped me dead in the night
You had a profound impact on me during the night.
I caught my breath
I paused, taken aback.
Your words resounding in light
Your words echoed with brightness.
Remind me again
Remind me once more.
That I belong here in the waiting place
I feel a sense of belonging in a state of anticipation.
Seeking your kingdom and finding grace on grace
Striving for your kingdom and discovering abundant grace.
I'd give it all up just to see you again
I would sacrifice everything to witness your presence again.
I'd give it all up just to see you again
Reiterating the willingness to give up everything for another encounter.
Right when I thought it was gone
Just when I believed it was lost,
You turned it around
You transformed the situation.
You wore the thistles and thorns and gave me the crown
You endured difficulties and challenges, rewarding me with a metaphorical crown.
I belong here in the in between space
I find my place in the intermediate, transitional space.
Seeking your kingdom and finding all of your grace
Striving for your kingdom, experiencing all facets of your grace.
I'd give it all up just to see you again
Expressing a willingness to surrender everything for a reunion.
I'd give it all up just to see you again
Reiterating the desire to sacrifice everything for the sake of reunion.
We're moving closer to the light
We are progressing towards illumination.
And I'm holding onto this sight
I cling to this vision.
It's like I've always known you
A sense of familiarity as if I have always known you.
It's like I've always known you
Repeating the feeling of having always known you.
You're like nothing I've ever seen
You are unlike anything I've witnessed.
But you're so familiar to me
Despite the uniqueness, there is a strong sense of familiarity.
And the more I see you
The more I encounter you,
The more I become me
The more I discover and embrace my true self.
How quick I stray from the path
Reflecting on how easily I deviate from the right path.
In search of a home
In pursuit of a place to call home.
But you didn't bring me this far
You have brought me this far; abandoning me is not your intention.
To let me go
A recognition of divine guidance and protection.
I'll be content here in the waiting place
Accepting contentment in the state of anticipation.
Seeking your kingdom finding grace on grace
Striving for your kingdom, continuously discovering grace upon grace.
I'd give it all up just to see you again
Expressing a willingness to sacrifice everything for another sighting.
I'd give it all up just to see you again
Reiterating the desire to give up everything for the sake of reunion.
We're moving closer to the light
We are progressing towards illumination.
And I'm holding onto this sight
I cling to this vision.
It's like I've always known you
A sense of familiarity as if I have always known you.
It's like I've always known you
Repeating the feeling of having always known you.
You're like nothing I've ever seen
You are unlike anything I've witnessed.
But you're so familiar to me
Despite the uniqueness, there is a strong sense of familiarity.
And the more I see you
The more I encounter you,
The more I become me
The more I discover and embrace my true self.
You're like nothing I've ever seen
You are unlike anything I've witnessed.
But you're so familiar to me
Despite the uniqueness, there is a strong sense of familiarity.
And the more I see you
The more I encounter you,
The more I become me
The more I discover and embrace my true self.
