Lyrics
If You are not going with me
I'm not moving from here
It's Your presence I need
So I won't fail again
If You are not going with me
I'm not moving from here
It's Your presence I need
Me don't lose track of the amount of time ?
I am not good as people think I am
And to be honest my strength is all gone
Only a few will understand this
But on the stride You never left me God
And I am close to the promised land
And so just You know I am not crossing over
If You are not holding my hand
Cause I am smart enough to know that
I am nothing without You Lord
Sometimes I get distracted by Your promises
Cause over there the look on beyond You look good
And I will be living the way I should
But even if me I didn't gossip ?
So I sing
If You are not going with me
I'm not moving from here
It's Your presence I need
So I won't fail again
If You are not going with me
I'm not moving from here
It's Your presence I need
Many are the plans of a man
He knows not what tomorrow brings
Sure are the plans of the Lord
So I will trust You in everything
Hold me out won't move without
You are the end from the beginning
Trust Your words and You'll always
Keep me within
If You are not going with me
I'm not moving from here
It's Your presence I need
So I won't fail again
No matter what the light looks bright on the other side
In the secret place of Your tabernacle me I hide
Me live without the Lord
Me would I rather die
Me say me no move
And your presence hold me no lose ...
If You are not going with me
I'm not moving from here
It's Your presence I need
So I won't fail again
If You are not going with me
I'm not moving from here
It's Your presence I need
If You're not going Sam is not going
If You're not moving Sam is not moving

Meaning & Inspiration
This line turns into a prayer almost without me noticing it. The singer talks about the "look" of the promised land and how it distracts them. Like looking at a photo of a place you’ve never actually stood in yet. It feels like that kid who kept leaning against the windowsill during the preacher's long sermon and eventually tipped backward. He hit the ground hard. Most people focus on the big "God" words here. I keep thinking about how small the singer makes themselves sound. Just refusing to walk unless someone holds their hand.
I do not know why we pretend that holding hands makes the desert any less dry or the path any less lethal.
