Group 1 Crew - So High Lyrics
Lyrics
Sittin in my room, I want to hear You speak
I'd never be alone, if it was up to me
You take me to the sky, with You I feel so free
The apple of Your eye Your my lover and my King and
You've been there when my whole world was crashin'
Down and now I know Your love is lasting
Cause I know that You'll catch me
In your arms I'll be safe from all harm and we'll…
Chorus:
Fly, take me up to Your home
No intention to come down, You take me
High, oh so high
Every time I'm in Your presence
Fly, You're amazing, I'm rearranging
High, oh I'm there with You, with You
Keep it going keep it flowing
Feel the motion take life
Breathe life
I don't wanna feel alone so I need You
Hold my hand in this walk of life let's breeze through
Let my lips tell the story of Your greatness
And let my ears cry when I play this
Song for You in all I do let me breathe life
Inside my heart there's a passion so I still fight
For my life cause there's a darkness trying to break in
And there's the love You give, and I'm a take it in….
Lost in melodic tones of grace that has me
Elevatin' and simply waitin' to be the victim of Your patience so
In love with all You do You're so amazing
And got me shifting, cause my heart is steady racing like
I hear a knockin' on my door I let You in
To who I am, what I want, where I've been
Incredible the way You move me
And this is how it should be we fly
You get me so high
So high that I find my self walking around the rings of Saturn
In search of a love that makes my heart beat to a different pattern
I just want to (fly)
On an escapade to a place where
I can see you face to face and
We can both kick back and have a conversation
About this ingenious system you created called love.
Oh God how I love to love you
And spend time with you
That leads me into a state of gratitude
For choosing me to give your love to
God you got me wanting to…

So High
Meaning & Inspiration
Released in 2006 as part of their self-titled debut album, *Group 1 Crew*, "So High" stands as a powerful testament to the profound spiritual elevation that comes from a deep, personal relationship with God. The song artfully captures the feeling of being lifted beyond the ordinary, a state of ecstatic joy and complete peace found not in earthly pursuits, but in divine connection. The narrative begins with a solitary reflection, a yearning for divine presence and guidance, highlighting the inherent human desire for connection that finds its ultimate fulfillment in the Creator. This initial intimacy is described as a refuge, a place where worldly troubles cease to hold sway, emphasizing God's unwavering support and enduring love as a constant anchor amidst life's inevitable storms. The lyrics articulate a profound trust, the assurance of being caught and held safe from all harm, mirroring the comfort found in passages like Psalm 23:4, "Even though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil, for you are with me; your rod and your staff, they comfort me."
The chorus, "Fly, take me up to Your home / No intention to come down, You take me / High, oh so high," serves as an anthem of surrender and aspiration. It’s a declaration of a desire to be perpetually in God's presence, a longing for a spiritual transcendence that elevates the soul. This upward trajectory is not merely emotional but transformative, a rearranging of one's inner being brought about by divine grace. The repeated emphasis on being "high" signifies a state of spiritual intoxication, a divine exhilaration that surpasses any worldly pleasure. This sentiment echoes the prophet Isaiah's words in Isaiah 40:31, where those who wait on the Lord "shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings like eagles; they shall run and not be weary; they shall walk and not be faint." The song’s progression then delves into the active pursuit of this connection, urging to "keep it going, keep it flowing," embracing the rhythm of life divinely orchestrated and infused with His breath.
The lyrics further explore the necessity of this divine embrace in navigating the complexities of existence. The plea to "hold my hand in this walk of life" speaks to the vulnerability of the human journey and the strength derived from divine companionship, as promised in Proverbs 3:5-6: "Trust in the Lord with all your heart and do not lean on your own understanding. In all your ways acknowledge him, and he will make straight your paths." The desire for one's life to reflect God's greatness is a fervent prayer, an aspiration to be a vessel of His light and love. Even in the face of internal struggles, a "darkness trying to break in," the enduring love of God offers a powerful counterforce, a redemptive power that one actively embraces, as affirmed in 1 John 4:4: "Little children, you are from God and have overcome them, for he who is in you is greater than he who is in the world." The song beautifully portrays the state of being "lost in melodic tones of grace," a surrender to God's patience and love that leads to a radical inner transformation. This acceptance of God's immense love, coupled with His inherent goodness, creates a heart that races with renewed purpose and fervent devotion, reminiscent of the Apostle Paul's declaration in Philippians 4:13, "I can do all things through him who strengthens me."
The intimate dialogue portrayed in the verses, where one "lets You in / To who I am, what I want, where I've been," signifies a complete unveiling before the divine, a total transparency that fosters deep intimacy and understanding. This openness is met with an "incredible" divine response, a powerful movement within the spirit that solidifies the conviction that this divine connection is the natural and intended state of being. The imagery of "walking around the rings of Saturn" in search of a love that beats to a "different pattern" is a poetic illustration of the unparalleled and unique nature of God's love, a love that fundamentally reorients one's existence and desires. The ultimate aspiration is to achieve a face-to-face encounter, a direct communion where the intricate "ingenious system you created called love" can be discussed and appreciated. This yearning culminates in an overwhelming sense of gratitude, a profound thankfulness for being chosen to receive such an extraordinary gift, echoing the sentiment of Ephesians 2:8-9: "For by grace you have been saved through faith. And this is not your own doing; it is the gift of God, not a result of works, so that no one may boast." "So High" is a powerful anthem for anyone seeking a deeper, more exhilarating connection with the divine, a spiritual journey that promises to lift them far beyond the ordinary.
