New Wine Worship - I Need An Encounter - Encounter Us Holy Spirit Lyrics

"I Need An Encounter - Encounter Us Holy Spirit" is a worship song built on the desire for direct, personal closeness with God rather than a distant or formal relationship. The repeated opening verse states that desire plainly, wanting to be one with God in fellowship and communion, specifically locating that closeness in the Holy of Holies, the innermost, most sacred space in the biblical tabernacle where only limited access was once permitted. The chorus turns that longing into a direct request, naming the encounter sought as one with the living God rather than an abstract spiritual experience, and picturing the response to that encounter as simply standing in God's presence and saying "Here I am." The song's closing phrase, naming God as the Great I Am, draws directly on the name God gave Moses, tying the desired encounter to that same self-revelation rather than a vague sense of the divine. Structurally the song moves from repeated, quiet desire to a clear, direct request, letting a congregation move from stating what it wants to actually asking for it.
