Move In Me
Michael W. Smith's 'Move In Me' is a prayerful song about seeking a deeper, more intimate connection with God. The lyrics express human struggle and doubt, contrasting human weakness with God's holiness and love. The singer asks God to fill a spiritual hunger and strengthen faith. The song also addresses external skepticism about God's love and the meaning of the cross, but finds assurance not through intellectual arguments but by listening to the heart and feeling God's presence. The central metaphor compares God's movement within to a soothing symphony, emphasizing a personal, experiential faith.
I am only human, struggling to find
Confidence in all that I believe
You are only holy, You are love defined
And You have said to ask and I'll receive
So, I have come to pray that You will come and fill
The hunger here inside me to grow
Stronger in the faith, there's a longing and a need
To have You ever closer, come fill me
'Cause when You move in me, it's like a symphony
The timeless melody that soothes my soul
Though silent I can tell that You're alive and well
'Cause I can feel You move in me
What they try to tell me is that Your love is false
What they try to tell me is that Your love is false
And faith is just a way I choose to feel and that there was
No meaning to You upon the cross and I should reach for
Something that is real
And when those words are said, the questions in me start
And I don't have any answers until I stop thinking
With my head and start listening to my heart
And there I find my assurance, I tell them
'Cause when You move in me, it's like a symphony
The timeless melody that soothes my soul
Though silent I can tell that You're alive and well
'Cause I can feel You move in me
