Meaning & Inspiration
You Are is a gospel song that lists what Jesus is to the singer. The first verse calls Him the joy within, the shelter from the wind and the forgiver of sins, then asks where else to go and who else to call when falling, answering that His hands hold the singer through it all and that He is everything needed. The second verse names Him cornerstone, friend when alone, the one who convicts when wrong, the peace within the storm and shelter from harm.
The closing section turns into a spoken testimony in which each need is matched with a title: healer when sick, shelter when there was no place to stay, lawyer in trouble, and provider when money ran out, each answered with "Thank You Jesus." The themes follow Psalm 18:2 on the Lord as rock and refuge, Psalm 103:3 on forgiveness and healing, and Philippians 4:19 on provision. The call-and-response ending gives the song a warm, thankful tone.
