Lyrics
You see all
Still You’re searching
For someone who will respond
I’m right here
You sit high
Still You’re looking
For a place You can abide
I’m right here
I’m the One
You don’t have to search no more
I’m the one you’re looking for
When you call me
I will respond
When you call me
I will respond
When you pull me
I will come running to your arms
I will respond to You
You see all
Still You’re searching
For someone who will respond
I’m right here
You sit high
Still You’re looking
For a place You can abide
I’m right here
I’m the One
You don’t have to search no more
I’m the one you’re looking for
When you call me
I will respond
When you call me
I will respond
When you pull me
I will come running to your arms
I will respond to You

Meaning & Inspiration
Respond portrays worship as an available and willing answer to the call of God. The verses picture God searching for a person and a place in which to abide, while the singer answers with readiness rather than hesitation. The chorus turns that readiness into a promise to answer and run toward His arms. Repetition reinforces the central posture: attentiveness, obedience, and nearness to God matter more than elaborate language.
The declaration of availability recalls Isaiah, who answers the divine call with Here am I. The desire to become a dwelling place also aligns with the words of Jesus in John 14 about making a home with the one who loves and obeys Him. Psalm 27 adds a related picture of the heart answering the command to seek the face of God. Together, these passages illuminate the lyric without requiring a specific personal calling. The song remains focused on a general act of surrender, presenting response as both an immediate answer and an ongoing willingness to draw near whenever God calls.
