Lyrics
Verse 1
Can't go back to the beginning
Can't control what tomorrow will bring
But I know here in the middle
Is the place where you promise to be
Chorus
I'm not enough unless you come
Will you meet me here again
Cause all I want is all you are
Will you meet me here again
Verse 2
As I walk now through the valley
Let your love rise above every fear
Like the sun shaping the shadow
In my weakness your glory appears
Chorus (Repeat x2)
Bridge
Not for a minute
Was I forsaken
The Lord is in this place
The Lord is in this place
Come Holy Spirit
Dry bones awaken
The Lord is in this place
The Lord is in this place

Meaning & Inspiration
"Here Again" opens by naming limits directly, unable to return to the beginning or control tomorrow, before locating confidence specifically in the present middle rather than past or future. That focus on the present moment frames the entire song around meeting God here and now rather than in remembered or anticipated time.
Its chorus admits insufficiency plainly, not enough without God's coming, tying that admitted need to a simple, repeated request to be met again in that same present place. A second verse names weakness directly as the place where glory becomes visible, pairing vulnerability with appearance rather than treating them as opposites.
Rooted in contemporary worship's confessional anthem tradition, the song functions as an extended request for renewed divine presence in the immediate moment, its bridge borrowing a well-known prophetic image, dry bones awakened, to picture the Holy Spirit's arrival as bringing life to what otherwise remains lifeless.
