MercyMe's song 'If I Could Just Sit with You Awhile' is a tender prayer for intimacy with God during times of pain and spiritual numbness. The lyrics express a deep longing to rest in God's presence, where wounds and death lose their power. The repeated refrain emphasizes the desire to be held by God moment by moment until eternity. It speaks of surrender and finding life in God even when facing physical or emotional death. The song conveys a humble, dependent faith, trusting that being hidden in Christ is enough.

When I can not feel
When my wounds don't heal
Lord I humbly kneel
Hidden in You
Lord you are my life
So I don't mind to die
Just as long as I
Am hidden in You
Cause I could just sit with You awhile
You could just hold me
nothing can touch me
though I'm wounded
though I've died
If I could just sit with You awhile
I'de need You to hold me
Moment by moment 'till forever passes by
When I can not feel
When my wounds don't heal
Lord I humbly kneel
Hidden in You
Lord You are my life
So I don't mind to die
Just as long as I
Am hidden in You
If I could just sit with You awhile
If You could just hold me
Nothing can touch me
though I'm wounded
though I've died
If I could just sit with You awhile
I'de need You to hold me
Monen t by moment
'till forever passes by
If I could just sit with You awhile
If You could just hold me
nothing can touch me
though I'm wounded
though I've died
if I could just sit with You awhile
I'de need You to hold me
moment by moment 'till forever passes by
moment by moment 'till forever passes by
moment by moment 'till forever passes by
