Koryn Hawthorne - Be With You Lyrics
Lyrics
Know it's been a while
But now I wanna get closer
And never let You go
Reminiscing 'bout Your call
It's enough to wake me up in the middle of the night
When I'm deep in my mind, hey
I never felt the touch
That no words on Earth could describe
I swear, You're such a vibe
Make sure You stop by before the night is over
I promise I won't waste Your time
Soon as You get a chance
I wanna be with You
And with open arms
Welcome me home
'Cause Your love I cannot deny
Soon as You get a chance
I wanna be with You, hey
Wanna tell the world everything about You
Like the way You get my soul excited
I can't hide, I can't hide, I can't hide it
Time don't exist when I'm wrapped in Your eternal bliss
I can't keep my heart silent
Need You to speak to me
Never felt the touch
That no words on Earth could describe
I swear You're such a vibe
Make sure You stop by before the night is over
I promise I won't waste Your time
Soon as You get a chance
I wanna be with You
And with open arms
Welcome me home
'Cause Your love I cannot deny
Soon as You get a chance
I wanna be with You
Soon as You get the chance

Be With You
Meaning & Inspiration
Koryn Hawthorne's "Be With You," released on April 18, 2024, is a powerful declaration of longing and devotion, resonating deeply with the profound desire for spiritual intimacy. The song captures the essence of a soul yearning to be in the presence of a divine love, a love so transformative it eclipses all earthly experiences. Hawthorne articulates a deeply personal journey, marked by a recollected "call" that awakens the spirit, much like the biblical accounts of God's persistent pursuit of His people. This awakening isn't passive; it's an active remembering of a divine touch that transcends mere words, a feeling so indescribable it evokes a profound sense of awe. The lyrics beautifully mirror the psalmist's cry in Psalm 42:1-2, "As the deer pants for streams of water, so my soul pants for you, my God. My soul thirsts for God, for the living God. When can I go and meet with God?" The repeated plea, "Soon as You get a chance, I wanna be with You," speaks to an eager anticipation, a readiness to embrace God's presence wholeheartedly, as the prodigal son was welcomed home with open arms in Luke 15:20. This isn't just a casual desire; it's a recognition of an undeniable love that cannot be suppressed or denied. Hawthorne’s expression of wanting to share this divine experience with the world, stating, "Wanna tell the world everything about You," echoes the evangelistic spirit found throughout the New Testament, particularly in the Great Commission (Matthew 28:19-20). The exhilaration she feels, describing how her "soul excited," and the feeling of time ceasing to exist when enveloped in "eternal bliss," points to the peace and fulfillment that comes from a surrendered spirit, a concept often described in Scripture as being "rooted and built up in him, being strengthened in the faith as you were taught, and overflowing with thankfulness" (Colossians 2:7). The inability to keep her heart silent and the need for divine communication are powerful attestations to the ongoing dialogue between a believer and their Creator, as highlighted in Jeremiah 29:12: "Then you will call on me and come and pray to me, and I will listen to you." Ultimately, "Be With You" is an anthem for anyone who has experienced the life-altering power of God's love and actively seeks to deepen that connection, recognizing that true fulfillment is found in His unwavering presence.
