WorshipMob - Holy Spirit, You Are Here Lyrics
Lyrics
Holy Spirit, You are here
Holy Spirit, You are here, and You love it
You made me Your dwelling place
You made me Your home, and You love it
This was Your purpose, it’s Your plan
To be with You, in our garden
This was Your purpose, it’s Your plan
To walk with You, hand in hand
There is no place You would rather be
No place you would rather be but with me
Holy Spirit, You are here
Holy Spirit, You are here, and we love it

Holy Spirit You Are Here | WorshipMob ft. Nick Smith (+spontaneous)
Meaning & Inspiration
WorshipMob, featuring Nick Smith, unveiled "Holy Spirit, You Are Here" on April 16, 2021, a song that quickly resonated with those yearning for a tangible encounter with the divine. This particular track, born from a spirit of spontaneous worship, captures a profound and timeless truth at the heart of Christian faith: the intimate, joyful indwelling of God Himself within His people. It's a simple declaration, yet it carries the weight of millennia of theological development and the personal testimony of millions.
The essence of the song unfolds as a beautiful reaffirmation of the Holy Spirit's presence, not as a fleeting visitor, but as a permanent, cherished resident. The initial lines immediately establish this reality, moving beyond mere acknowledgment to the stunning revelation that the Holy Spirit delights in making His abode within us. This isn't a reluctant presence; it's a joyful, chosen one. The imagery of being made God's "dwelling place" and "home" speaks directly to a core promise of the New Covenant, reflecting the words of 1 Corinthians 6:19, which asks, "Do you not know that your bodies are temples of the Holy Spirit, who is in you, whom you have received from God?" The song captures the wonder that the Creator of the universe finds His highest joy in residing in the very beings He created.
As the narrative progresses, the song delves into the divine intention behind this indwelling. It posits that this sacred closeness was always God's original "purpose" and "plan," harkening back to the pristine state of creation. The vivid mention of being "in our garden" and the desire to "walk with You, hand in hand" directly echoes the Genesis account of God walking with Adam and Eve in the cool of the day (Genesis 3:8). This powerful connection reminds us that fellowship with humanity was never an afterthought but the very blueprint of God's heart. It speaks to a longing for a restored relationship, a yearning for Eden-like intimacy that the Holy Spirit now fulfills within the believer, a present reality that anticipates the ultimate fulfillment of Revelation 21:3, where God's dwelling will be among His people forever.
Perhaps one of the most moving declarations in the song is the assertion that "There is no place You would rather be, No place you would rather be but with me." This profound statement challenges any notion of a distant or indifferent God. Instead, it paints a portrait of a God who actively chooses and cherishes His creation, specifically desiring personal connection. This sentiment beautifully aligns with Zephaniah 3:17, which proclaims, "The Lord your God is with you, the Mighty Warrior who saves. He will take great delight in you; in his love he will no longer rebuke you, but will rejoice over you with singing." It's an affirmation of divine love so deep that it finds its joy and purpose in relationship with us, validating our worth not by what we do, but by whose we are. The Holy Spirit's presence, therefore, isn't just about empowering us, but about fulfilling God's own desire for unwavering communion.
Finally, the song culminates in a collective response of wonder and adoration: "Holy Spirit, You are here, and we love it." This transition from acknowledging God's delight to expressing our reciprocal joy creates a powerful sense of shared intimacy. It’s a grateful echo of God's initial joy, a recognition that His presence is not only His preference but also our deepest desire and greatest blessing. This mutual love forms the foundation of Christian experience, where the Spirit's residence transforms our inner landscape, making us alive to God's love and enabling us to love Him in return. It’s a testament to the transformative power of God's presence, turning our lives into a sacred space where the divine and human meet, bringing forth peace, joy, and an abiding sense of belonging. "Holy Spirit, You Are Here" isn't merely a song; it's a profound theological reflection, a prayer, and an invitation to deeply experience the God who dwells within.
