Take Me In
Kutless's song "Take Me In" is a worship ballad expressing a deep longing for intimate communion with God. The lyrics use Old Testament imagery of the tabernacle, moving past the outer courts and the brazen altar into the Holy of Holies, symbolizing a desire to enter God's presence. The chorus emphasizes that access is granted through the blood of the Lamb, referencing Christ's sacrifice. The line about the coal touching the lips alludes to Isaiah's cleansing vision, portraying a heart ready for purification and surrender. Overall, the song is a prayer for deeper worship 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
And the Priests who sing your praise
I hunger and thirst for your righteousness
But it's only found in one place
[Chorus:]
Take me into the holy of holies
Take me in by the blood of the lamb
Take me into the holy of holies
Take the coal, touch my lips, here I am
