Kent Henry's song 'Take Me In' is a worship piece that expresses a deep longing for intimate communion with God. Drawing on Old Testament imagery of the tabernacle, the lyrics move from the outer courts to the Holy of Holies, symbolizing a desire to move beyond religious routine into God's presence. The repeated plea to be taken in by the blood of the Lamb reflects a reliance on Jesus' sacrifice for access to God. The reference to cleansing lips with a coal echoes Isaiah's encounter with God, emphasizing purification and surrender. The song is a prayer for deeper intimacy and holiness.
Take me past the outer courts
Into the Holy place
Past the brazen altar
Lord I want to see your face
Pass me by the crowds of people
The priests who sing your praise
I hunger and thirst for your righteousness
And it's only found one place
Take me in to the Holy of Holies
Take me in by the blood of the Lamb
Take me in to the Holy of Holies
Take the coal, cleanse my lips, here I am
Take the coal, cleanse my lips, here I am
