Influence Music + Michael Ketterer - Met By Love Lyrics
Lyrics
There is none
None like you
Who can know my heart like you do
For all creation sings your song
I will join with them declaring your glory
There is none
None like
Who can know my heart like you do
For all creation sings your song
And I will join with them declaring your glory
We can run straight into your arms unafraid
'Cause every time we need you we're met by love
And we can lift our hands to heaven full of faith
'Cause every time we worship we see your face
We can run straight into your arms unafraid
'Cause every time we need you we're met by love
And can life our hands to heaven full of faith
'Cause every time we worship we see your face
We see your face
We see your face
We see your face
There is no one like you Lord, you Lord
We can run straight into your arms unafraid
'Cause every time we need you we're met by love
And can life our hands to heaven full of faith
'Cause every time we worship we see your face

Meaning & Inspiration
"Met By Love" by Influence Music featuring Michael Ketterer, released on August 16, 2017, stands as a profound declaration of divine intimacy and unyielding grace. This song immediately draws us into a space of reflection on the incomparable nature of God, opening with the affirmation, "There is none, none like You, Who can know my heart like You do." This powerful statement resonates deeply, echoing the sentiments of Psalm 139, which marvels at God's omniscience and omnipresence, knowing our thoughts and paths even before they unfold. It speaks to a Creator who is not distant but intimately acquainted with every facet of our being, a comfort found in verses like Matthew 10:30 where Jesus reassures us that even the hairs of our head are numbered. The lyrics then broaden this personal connection to a universal truth, stating, "For all creation sings your song, I will join with them declaring your glory." This vision aligns with Psalm 19:1-4, which describes the heavens proclaiming God's handiwork, and Revelation 5:13, where every creature in heaven and on earth sings praise. It's an invitation to align our voices with the cosmic symphony of worship already offered by creation itself, recognizing God's glory revealed throughout the universe.
The heart of "Met By Love" truly beats within its chorus, which serves as a powerful assurance and encouragement for every believer: "We can run straight into your arms unafraid, 'Cause every time we need you we're met by love." This profound truth dismantles fear and invites an audacious approach to God. It evokes Hebrews 4:16, which encourages us to "approach God’s throne of grace with confidence, so that we may receive mercy and find grace to help us in our time of need." The freedom to run unafraid is a testament to the completed work of Christ, removing the veil of separation and condemnation, and replacing it with perfect love that casts out fear, as declared in 1 John 4:18. This isn't a tentative approach, but a confident rush into an embrace that is always present and always characterized by boundless love. Every moment of need, every cry, every whispered prayer is met not with judgment, but with an overwhelming experience of divine affection and care, reminiscent of Lamentations 3:22-23 which celebrates God's mercies that are new every morning and His great faithfulness.
The chorus continues to unfold the blessings of this relationship, affirming, "And we can lift our hands to heaven full of faith, 'Cause every time we worship we see your face." The act of lifting hands in worship is a timeless expression of surrender, adoration, and expectation, common throughout the Psalms (e.g., Psalm 63:4). It is a posture of both receptivity and offering, performed "full of faith," signifying a confident trust in God's presence and responsiveness. The extraordinary promise here is the assurance that in worship, "we see your face." This isn't necessarily a physical manifestation, but a profound spiritual encounter, a tangible sense of God's presence and character being revealed. It speaks to the transformation described in 2 Corinthians 3:18, where "we all, with unveiled face, beholding the glory of the Lord, are being transformed into the same image from one degree of glory to another." Worship, therefore, becomes a sacred space where the divine and human meet, where faith is validated by the real experience of God's manifest presence. The repetition of "We see your face" throughout the song reinforces this powerful and desired spiritual reality, emphasizing the consistent and reliable nature of encountering God in sincere worship. Ultimately, "Met By Love" is a vibrant testimony to God's unparalleled nature, His intimate knowledge of His children, and the liberating, transforming power of His ever-present love that welcomes us into His embrace without reservation, ensuring that every genuine seeking is rewarded with an encounter of His glorious face.
