Lyrics
This is the moment
This is the hour
You're here in My presence
You're touching My power
How I've longed for this moment
How I've longed for this day
Come away My beloved
To Our secret place
Enter into My presence
Enter into My mercy and grace
This is My holy place
This is My secret place
Receive My love and grace
As We stand face to face
Now let My healing flow
I want the world to know
This is My secret place
This is My holy place
If you listen you'll hear it
A call to the nations
To show forth My praises
To ev'ry tongue tribe and nation
If you will not tell them
How will they know
That there's joy in My presence
Like they've never known
Bring them into My presence
Let them worship before My Throne
This is Your holy place
This is Your secret place
We feel Your love and grace
As we stand face to face
Now let Your Kingdome come
Now let Your will be done
Let there be peace
Let there be love
Let there be joy
Let there be praise
This is Your holy place
This is Your secret place
We feel Your love and grace
As we stand face to face
Lord let Your healing flow
So all the world will know
This is Your secret place
This is Your holy place

Meaning & Inspiration
This Is My Holy Place unfolds as an invitation into God’s presence and then widens into a call to the nations. The opening lines present a sacred meeting marked by mercy, grace, love, and healing. The repeated language of a holy and secret place gives the song an intimate focus, while the face-to-face imagery expresses closeness with God. That private encounter is not treated as an end in itself; worship becomes preparation for witness.
The later verse calls for God’s praises to reach every tongue, tribe, and nation, closely echoing biblical language about a people who proclaim His excellencies and a redeemed multitude from all nations. The response asks for God’s kingdom and will, along with peace, love, joy, praise, and healing. This movement connects prayer, worship, and mission: divine presence brings restoration, and restored worshippers carry praise outward. The song therefore holds together personal communion and a global vision of people gathered before God’s throne.
