Surrounded
Embraced by Grace: Mark Roach's Powerful Anthem of Divine Presence
Lyrics
I am here in spite of everything I am
I exist despite my flaws and shortcomings
And everything I'm not
Acknowledging both my qualities and limitations
And while my fears keep me from the water
Fears prevent me from diving into the unknown
My soul thirsts for You, oh God
My inner self longs for a connection with God
And I lift up my hands to praise You
Expressing devotion through physical gestures
I lift up my voice
Raising my voice in worship
And I'm surrounded, I'm astounded
Feeling overwhelmed and amazed
By Your presence in this place
Experiencing the presence of God in the surroundings
I can hear You, feel so near You
Sensing closeness to God
And I can almost see Your face
Yearning to perceive the divine
I am clothed in love, surrounded by Your grace
Wrapped in love and embraced by God's grace
You are here in spite of everything I am
God's presence remains despite imperfections
And everything I'm not
Accepting oneself with vulnerabilities
And when my tears seem like my only water
Tears symbolize emotional struggles
Fill me with Your song, oh God
Seeking solace and inspiration from God's song
And I lift up my hands to praise You
Expressing gratitude through lifted hands
I lift up my voice
Vocalizing praise to God
And I'm surrounded, I'm astounded
Overwhelmed and astonished by divine presence
By Your presence in this place
Experiencing God's presence in the current space
I can hear You, feel so near You
Sensory closeness to God
And I can almost see Your face
Yearning to visualize the divine
I am clothed in love, surrounded by Your grace
Enveloped in love and surrounded by God's grace
And I lift up my hands to praise You
Continuing to express gratitude through gestures
I lift up my voice
Continuing to vocalize praise
And I'm surrounded, I'm astounded
Reiterating the overwhelming experience
By Your presence in this place
Emphasizing the tangible presence of God
And I can hear You, I feel so near You
Hearing and feeling the proximity of God
That I can almost see Your face
Almost visualizing the divine face
I am clothed in love, surrounded by Your grace
Wrapped in love and surrounded by grace
I am clothed in love, surrounded by Your grace
Repeating the imagery of being clothed in love and grace
Surrounded by Your grace
Concluding with the theme of being surrounded by grace
