Vicki Yohe - Here We Are Lyrics
Lyrics
Once in a lifetime
It seemed so far away
Not in my wildest dreams
Could I ever found this peace
You have a special heart
That looked beyond my need
You saw me in my search for mercy
Here we are
In the shelter of your wings
It's heavenly
There's no greater place to be
Here we are
You and me
Lost in your presence
Is where I find your grace
Far from the emptiness
That I once embraced
You hold me when I need
To feel the strength of love
You give beyond
And that's more that enough
Where is love
Now tell me where is joy
I've only found
Everything I need I find in you.

Because of Who you Are-Vicki Yohe
Meaning & Inspiration
Vicki Yohe’s powerful song, "Here We Are," released in 2008, stands as a profound declaration of faith and unwavering presence in the face of adversity, directly aligning with the bedrock truths found throughout Scripture. The song’s essence isn't about the complexities of melody but the unshakeable message it conveys: that believers are firmly planted in God’s purpose, no matter the surrounding storm. This message resonates deeply with the biblical understanding of steadfastness, echoing the Apostle Paul’s admonition in 1 Corinthians 15:58, "Therefore, my beloved brothers, be always steadfast, immovable, always abounding in the work of the Lord, knowing that your labor is not in vain in the Lord." Yohe’s rendition is a vibrant testament to this enduring truth, reminding us that our foundation is not built on shifting sands but on the solid rock of Christ, as Jesus Himself taught in Matthew 7:24-25: "Everyone then who hears these words of mine and does them will be like a wise man who built his house on the rock." The song’s title, "Here We Are," encapsulates a sense of resolute standing, a spiritual posture of readiness and affirmation. This mirrors the divine promise found in Psalm 46:1, "God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble." The implication is that, even when circumstances seem overwhelming or uncertain, our identity and security are anchored in God's unchanging nature. The song speaks to a collective “we,” suggesting the strength found in the community of faith, united in their reliance on God. This communal aspect aligns with the encouragement in Hebrews 10:24-25 to "consider how to stir up one another to love and good works, not neglecting to meet together, as is the habit of some, but encouraging one another." "Here We Are" is an anthem for perseverance, a bold statement that regardless of the challenges faced, believers are present, established, and fully entrusted to the Lord’s care. It’s a powerful reminder that our current standing is a testament to His faithfulness, a truth powerfully captured in Philippians 1:6: "And I am sure of this, that he who began a good work in you will bring it to completion at the day of Jesus Christ." This song serves as a spiritual anchor, inspiring confidence and courage by grounding listeners in the unchanging reality of God's presence and sovereign plan.
