Lyrics
Verse 1
I join in the songs of heaven
I join in the worship around the throne
I join in the anthem of heaven
So let the atmosphere of heaven
Come invade this room, invade this house
As we worship, As we praise You
Come invade our praises
As we lift up our voices
That Your presence come
I join in the songs of heaven
I join in the worship around the throne
I join in the anthem of heaven
So let the atmosphere of heaven
Come invade this room, invade this house
As we worship, As we praise You
Come invade our praises
As we lift up our voices
That Your presence come
Pre-Chorus
The atmosphere is changing now
For the Spirit of the Lord is here
The evidence is all around
That the Spirit of the Lord is here
Chorus
Overflow in this place
Fill our hearts with Your love
Your love surrounds us
You're the reason we came
To encounter Your love
Your love surrounds us
Bridge
Spirit of God fall fresh on us
We need Your presence
Your kingdom come
Your will be done
Here as in heaven
Pre-Chorus
A miracle can happen now
For the Spirit of the Lord is here
The evidence is all around
That the Spirit of the Lord is here

Meaning & Inspiration
Here as in Heaven is a worship song that asks for the atmosphere of heaven to fill the gathering. The opening lines join the songs of heaven, the worship around the throne and the anthem of heaven, then ask that the atmosphere of heaven invade the room and the house as voices are lifted and praise is offered. The pre-chorus says the atmosphere is changing because the Spirit of the Lord is here and the evidence is all around.
The chorus asks for an overflow of love, saying that the reason for gathering is to encounter it, and the bridge prays for the Spirit to fall fresh with the words "Your kingdom come, Your will be done, here as in heaven." The themes follow Matthew 6:10 on the prayer for the kingdom, 2 Corinthians 3:17 on the Spirit of the Lord bringing freedom, and Revelation 4:8-11 on worship around the throne. The repeated pre-chorus and building bridge give the song an expectant, reverent tone for congregational worship.
