Many of the songs we sing about the Holy Spirit are based around how we feel, or what we want to experience. This song is about who the Holy Spirit is and what we're wanting to see the Holy Spirit do in our lives and in the wider communities we're living in. It's missional at heart, asking the Holy Spirit to fill us to empower us to go out into the world, enable us to share the love of God and draw people to Him.
Based on Psalm 27, this is an unapologetic declaration of where we're putting our hope. Written to build faith when facing adversary, this song causes courage to rise as we seek the presence of the Lord and to fix our eyes on Him rather than the trouble around us.
Written at the Resound Worship Songwriting Retreat 2024. My aim with this song was to attempt to describe the might, power and majesty of God without making it about our experience or perception of Him. So often our songs define His value through what we see of Him, or how we have experienced Him. He's worthy of praise simply because He's worthy of praise.
