North Point Worship - Here I Am Lyrics
Lyrics
Verse 1
I know You're here
Working in the waiting
Teaching me to see Your design
And I hear Your call
A holy invitation
To leave my reservations behind
I leave my reservations behind
Chorus
And here I am
All I have is in Your hands
Where I'm meant to be
As I surrender, I can see
When I let go, You carry me
Here I am
Verse 2
You work for good
The pieces come together
My brokenness is being made new
And I trust Your plan
With great anticipation
I run with all abandon to You
I run with all abandon to You
Chorus
And here I am
All I have is in Your hands
Where I'm meant to be
As I surrender, I can see
When I let go, You carry me
Here I am
Oh, here I am
Oh, here I am
Bridge
Where You go, I go
If You stay, I'm not moving
Through the valleys and shadows
I'm not giving up
Where You go, I go
If You stay, I'm not moving
Through the valleys and shadows
I'm not giving up
I'm not giving up
I'm not giving up
I'm not giving up
Chorus
Here I am
All I have is in Your hands
Where I'm meant to be
As I surrender, I can see
When I let go, You carry me
Here I am
Oh, here I am
Oh, here I am
Oh, here I am

North Point Worship - "Here I Am" (Official Lyric Video)
Meaning & Inspiration
"Here I Am," by North Point Worship, released as part of their *Abundantly More - EP* in 2019, offers a profound anthem of surrender and trust in divine guidance. The song's narrative unfolds as a personal declaration of faith, moving from an acknowledgement of God's persistent work even in periods of waiting, to a bold commitment of complete reliance. The opening verse speaks to a profound spiritual awareness, recognizing God's presence and His purposeful design amidst life's uncertainties. This perception of a "holy invitation" to shed personal hesitations directly echoes the biblical call to step out in faith, much like Abraham was called from his homeland to an unknown future (Genesis 12:1-3). The repeated phrase, "I leave my reservations behind," signifies a deliberate relinquishing of fear and doubt, a crucial step in spiritual maturity.
The core message of "Here I Am" is beautifully encapsulated in its chorus: "All I have is in Your hands." This central tenet of Christian belief, that our lives and all we possess are ultimately entrusted to God, is powerfully expressed. The act of "surrender" is presented not as passive resignation but as an active posture of seeing and understanding God's will more clearly. This aligns with passages like Philippians 4:6-7, which assures us that when we bring our anxieties to God through prayer, His peace will guard our hearts and minds. The concept of "letting go" to be carried by God directly mirrors the imagery of Psalm 23, where the Lord is depicted as a shepherd guiding and protecting his flock, ensuring they lack nothing and are safely led even through the darkest valleys.
Further deepening this message, the second verse reinforces the idea that God transforms brokenness into something new, working for ultimate good in all circumstances. This speaks to the redemptive power of faith, a theme woven throughout Scripture. Romans 8:28 famously declares, "And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him, who have been called according to his purpose." The lyrical progression from simply acknowledging God's work to running "with all abandon" signifies a growing confidence and unreserved devotion, a testament to a deepening relationship of trust.
The bridge of "Here I Am" expands this commitment into unwavering perseverance, declaring, "Where You go, I go. If You stay, I'm not moving." This is a powerful declaration of steadfast loyalty and an intrinsic understanding that true belonging is found in alignment with God's presence and purpose, regardless of the external circumstances. This steadfastness finds its roots in the teachings of Jesus, who called his followers to deny themselves, take up their crosses, and follow him (Matthew 16:24), indicating a journey that requires unwavering commitment through all seasons of life, including trials and moments of apparent stillness. The repeated refrain of "I'm not giving up" serves as a potent reminder of the enduring strength found in faith, a strength that transcends human limitations and is rooted in the faithfulness of God. Ultimately, "Here I Am" is a compelling invitation to embrace a life of total dependence on God, recognizing that in our surrender, we find our true place and profound fulfillment.
