Lyrics
Now we’re tucked in with the constellations,
We can see for miles and generations
Oh, You’re giving us perspective,
You’re giving us perspective,
You’re giving us perspective, oh oh oh oh oh
There’s no such thing as empty space,
You are filling up all things
We’re not just singing to the sky
His name is Yahweh,
He’s in the intake of your breath,
He’s in the exhale of our breath
His name is Yahweh, the Great I am
Right here, right now
We don’t have to wait
He’s right here, He’s right now
He’s right here, He’s in the name
(Great are You Lord)
Yahweh, Yahweh, Yahweh, Yahweh,
Yahweh, Yahweh, oh, oh
Amanda:
The very name Yahweh, was an acknowledgment of the breath, the source, the sustenance of God, the Yah-(inhale)-weh(exhale).
The here, the now, the I am, right in this moment.
I just feel like we’re tucking ourselves into that reality this morning, we’re tucking ourselves into the reality of every unconscious breath its about to become conscious. We’re becoming aware. So we’re just going to sing His name, we’re just going to sing that name of God, just a couple more times.
Just tuck your-, see yourself tucking yourself into the breath that sustains you.
Sustains every living thing.
Yahweh, Yahweh, Yahweh,
Yahweh, Yahweh, Yahweh, oh, oh
(One more time, sing it out)
Yahweh, Yahweh, Yahweh, Yahweh, Yahweh, Yahweh,
You’re here and now
Yahweh, Yahweh, Yahweh, Yahweh,
Yahweh, Yahweh, oh, oh
You’re the breath
Yahweh, Yahweh, Yahweh, Yahweh, Yahweh, Yahweh

Meaning & Inspiration
“Crying Out (Yahweh)” is a spontaneous meditation on God’s nearness and sustaining presence. Images of constellations and long generations widen the scene, yet the lyric repeatedly returns to the immediate moment. The declaration that no space is empty presents creation as filled by God, while the repeated divine name turns reflection into worship.
Breath becomes the song’s central image. The words connect every inhale and exhale with dependence on the One who gives and sustains life. Acts 17:25 offers a clear biblical parallel by describing God as the giver of life and breath, and Acts 17:28 similarly speaks of life and movement existing in God. The title Yahweh also recalls God’s self-identification in Exodus 3:14, though the lyric treats the name poetically through the rhythm of breathing. Its spoken section and recurring refrain emphasize awareness: God is not portrayed as distant or confined to the sky, but present here and now.
