Rita Springer - You See Me (In Focus) Lyrics + Chords
Lyrics
There's nothing missing
No question whose I am
You don't make mistakes
You've never failed a plan
And all of my seeking
It all comes back to You
You have won me over
The way, the One, the truth
You make room for me
You see me in focus
? that You couldn't be found
Never been closer than I am right now
You see me perfectly
Couldn't love me more than You already do
This heart of mine is Yours and it's not gonna move
You're more than a feeling
The home I'll always have
Even when I doubt you
You always lead me back
You love me dearly
With a voice I recognize
Like a smile, I can't forget
Like a friend I've known for life
You make room for me
You see me in focus
? that You couldn't be found
Never been closer than I am right now
You see me perfectly
Couldn't love me more than You already do
This heart of mine is Yours and it's not gonna move
The same Jesus sees me now
It's the same Jesus that saw me then
And the same Jesus gave me a vow
To be the same Jesus forever, amen
You see me in focus
? that You couldn't be found
Never been closer than I am right now
You see me perfectly
Couldn't love me more than You already do
This heart of mine is Yours and it's not gonna move
And it's not gonna move

Meaning & Inspiration
Rita Springer's "You See Me (In Focus)," released as a single on October 29, 2021, delivers a profoundly intimate and reassuring message of divine recognition and steadfast love. The song acts as a devotional anthem, inviting us into the comforting truth of God's perfect vision for each individual, moving beyond mere sentiment to anchor faith in an unchanging reality. It’s a testament to the journey from existential seeking to the profound peace of being fully known and eternally held.
The narrative of "You See Me (In Focus)" begins with a declaration of God’s flawless nature and our secure identity within it. Lines like "There's nothing missing, No question whose I am" immediately dismantle anxieties about purpose and belonging, echoing Romans 8:31, "If God is for us, who can be against us?" This sets a foundation of trust, reinforcing that God "doesn't make mistakes" and "has never failed a plan," a truth beautifully mirrored in Isaiah 46:10, where God declares His plans will stand. The song then articulates a universal spiritual journey, where "all of my seeking, It all comes back to You," culminating in the profound realization that God has "won me over," embodying "the way, the One, the truth"—a direct homage to Jesus' self-declaration in John 14:6. This journey culminates in a sense of acceptance and belonging, as the divine presence "makes room" for us, hinting at the eternal dwelling places promised in John 14:2-3.
The core message, encapsulated in the repeated refrain, "You see me in focus... You see me perfectly, Couldn't love me more than You already do," serves as a powerful antidote to feelings of inadequacy or invisibility. This isn’t a blurry, distant glance, but a sharp, precise, and loving gaze that penetrates all facades. It aligns with Psalm 139:1-4, which speaks of God knowing our thoughts, movements, and every word before we utter it. The assurance that we have "Never been closer than I am right now" speaks to the indwelling Holy Spirit and the ongoing communion offered through Christ, as promised in John 14:16-17. The profound statement that God "couldn't love me more than You already do" shatters the myth of earning love or falling out of favor, instead affirming the boundless, unconditional nature of divine affection described in Romans 8:38-39, where nothing can separate us from His love. Such a revelation naturally elicits a response of commitment, as expressed in the resolute line, "This heart of mine is Yours and it's not gonna move."
Beyond fleeting emotions, the song establishes God as a constant and reliable presence: "You're more than a feeling, The home I'll always have." This grounds faith in an unchanging truth, rather than the ebb and flow of human experience, resonating with Hebrews 13:8, which reminds us that Jesus Christ is the same yesterday, today, and forever. Even in moments of doubt, the unwavering faithfulness of God is highlighted: "Even when I doubt you, You always lead me back," reflecting His persistent grace and the shepherd's heart revealed in parables like the lost sheep (Luke 15). The song paints a picture of intimate relationship, recognizing a "voice I recognize" and a presence "Like a friend I've known for life," mirroring Jesus' words in John 10:27, "My sheep hear My voice, and I know them, and they follow Me." This personal connection underscores the deep, familiar love of a God who truly knows us, not just as creations, but as cherished companions.
The bridge serves as a potent anchor, cementing the timeless nature of God’s love and commitment: "The same Jesus sees me now, It's the same Jesus that saw me then, And the same Jesus gave me a vow, To be the same Jesus forever, amen." This reiterates the unchanging character of Christ (Hebrews 13:8) and His eternal covenant promises, such as those found in Jeremiah 31:3, "I have loved you with an everlasting love." It bridges past struggles and future hopes with the present reality of His unwavering gaze, reminding us that His recognition isn't new or fleeting, but consistent through all seasons of life. "You See Me (In Focus)" ultimately delivers a profoundly encouraging message, a spiritual embrace that confirms our worth, belonging, and security in the unchanging, perfectly focused love of God.
