7eventh Time Down - Right Here Lyrics
Lyrics
Verse 1
In the dark
I'm reachin' out for somethin'
Just a spark
But I can't catch a glimpse where You are
Pre-Chorus
When it feels like no one's listening
I could shout and no one hears me
In the moments when I think I'm all alone
Chorus
I hear You sayin' I'm right here
I never left you
All those tears I'm cryin' with you
Right here holdin' your hand in Mine
I've been here the whole time
Verse 2
When hope feels lost
And I can't find my way back
To the cross
I just need to hear Your voice
Pre-Chorus
When it feels like no onе's listening
I could shout and no one hears mе
In the moments when I think I'm all alone
Chorus
I hear You sayin' I'm right here
I never left you
All those tears I'm cryin' with you
Right here holdin' your hand in Mine
I've been here the whole time
Bridge
(Right here) Never far away
(Right now) Never far away
(Right here, right now) Never far away
(Right here, right now) Never far away
Chorus
I'm right here
I never left you
All those tears I'm cryin' with you
Right here holdin' your hand in Mine
I've been here the whole time
I'm right here
I never left you
All those tears I'm cryin' with you
Right here holdin' your hand in Mine
I've been here the whole time
Post-Chorus
I've been here the whole time
(Right here, right now) Never far away
(Right here, right now) Never far away

Meaning & Inspiration
"Right Here," a powerful track from 7eventh Time Down's 2022 album, *By Faith*, immediately immerses the listener in a deeply personal struggle for connection. The song grapples with moments of profound darkness and isolation, where cries for help feel unheard and the path forward is obscured. This vulnerability is palpable from the opening lines, depicting a desperate reaching for something unseen, a flicker of hope in the surrounding gloom. The pre-chorus amplifies this feeling of solitude, painting a vivid picture of shouting into a void, convinced of being utterly alone. It is precisely at this precipice of despair that the song pivots, offering a divine reassurance that resonates with the core of Christian faith.
The central message of "Right Here" is a direct echo of God's unwavering presence and constant companionship, even when human senses fail to perceive it. The chorus delivers a comforting declaration: "I hear You saying I'm right here, I never left you." This isn't a conditional assurance, but a steadfast declaration rooted in the very nature of God as revealed in Scripture. It speaks to the truth found in Deuteronomy 31:6, which encourages us to be strong and courageous because the Lord "will never leave you nor forsake you." The lyrics further elaborate on this divine solidarity, with the promise of weeping alongside us and holding our hands, a profound depiction of empathy and support. This resonates powerfully with verses like Psalm 56:8, where David cries out, "You have taken account of my wanderings; put my tears in Your bottle. Are they not in Your book?" The song beautifully translates this scriptural promise into an intimate, present reality. The bridge reinforces this message of perpetual nearness, emphasizing that God is "never far away," a testament to His omnipresence as described in Jeremiah 23:24, where the Lord asks, "Can a man hide himself in secret places so that I do not see him?” declares the Lord. “Do I not fill heaven and earth?” declares the Lord." The repeated affirmation throughout the song, "I've been here the whole time," serves as a balm to a soul feeling abandoned, reminding us that God’s faithfulness predates our struggles and extends beyond them. This is the bedrock of our hope, that our Creator is intimately involved in every facet of our lives, a truth central to the Gospel narrative and echoed in verses like Hebrews 13:5, which assures believers, "For He Himself has said, 'I will never leave you, nor will I ever forsake you.'" "Right Here" is more than just a song; it's a musical embodiment of the divine promise of presence, a powerful reminder that in our darkest hours, we are never truly alone.
