With You
With You
An unconventional worship song, as it does not only sing to the known characteristics of God, but also to His mystery, for it is both the familiarity and unfamiliarity of God that makes Him holy.

VERSE 1
A
With you
B C#m
I lose my breath and I can breathe again
B A
Don’t know where you end and where you begin
B C#m
I am safe from harm and still I’m scared to death
VERSE 2
With You
I feel so small and so significant
I’m one of billions, still you hold my hand
For reasons that I’ll never understand
CHORUS
C#m A
That’s what makes you holy
E B
That’s what makes you good
C#m A
Broadened by the mystery
E B
Humbled by this love
C#m A
Stronger than the lion
E B
Gentle as a lamb
C#m A
That’s what makes you holy
E
The great I Am
VERSE 3
With You
A treasure's being hidden in the field
Just waiting for your purpose to reveal
A shoot that's rising up from barren ground
VERSE 4
In you
We find a humble king so confident
Who builds his throne on love and selflessness
That earthly kings and queens can’t comprehend
