You Will Be There
Jeremy Camp's song reflects on God's constant presence and intimate care, beginning each day with faith that God shapes his path and holds him securely. The lyrics celebrate being fearfully and wonderfully made, ordained by God, and formed in a secret place. The chorus reassures that God is there from waking to night, while the bridge marvels at the preciousness of God's thoughts, more numerous than the sands of the sea. The song is a worshipful meditation on God's sovereignty, personal attention, and unwavering faithfulness, drawing from Psalm 139 to express awe and trust.
I begin the day
with the faith you fashion my ways,
And I cannot escape
for your hand it leads.
Your right hand holds me.
[Chorus]
When I wake, you will be there.
When the sun goes down in the night,
You wil be there.
My life has been ordained.
You have formed this very frame
And I am fearfully made.
For I was made in that secret place.
[Repeat Chorus]
How precious are your thoughts, all over me.
They're more than the sands of the sea.
[Repeat Chorus]
