Song Meaning
Learning someone "by heart" is the guiding image: God's name on the singer's lips, His presence "memorized" so that closing the eyes is enough to find Him. The opening verse describes a changed life as finding the way home, and the singer says they could "live on this feeling alone."
Sight is not required. "I don't have to see you to believe," goes the second verse, which pictures God as a watchful shelter whose arms reach out "even when I'm feeling alone." The bridge keeps things simple, with a whispered "comes naturally" and "second nature," the comparison being breathing, then a short list of verbs: God knows, sees, hears, and heals.
Point of Grace's vocal-harmony arrangement keeps the tone intimate, and the lyric reads like a personal prayer. John 20:29 blesses those who believe without seeing, Psalm 139:1 describes being searched and known by God, and Psalm 91:1 pictures dwelling in His shelter. The song fits quiet devotion and anyone who needs reminding that God stays near in lonely stretches.

Your shining light
Has changed my life
It's like I've found my way home
I know You're near
Hear you loud and clear
I could live on this feeling alone
Everywhere I go You are right there beside
Anytime of night or day
Your name is on my lips
Your love I can't resist
Got to be with You wherever You are
I want You memorized
So when I close my eyes
All I have to do, is keep loving you
By heart
I don't have to see
See You to believe
That You're not going away
I know You'll be
Watching over me
You're the shelter that's keeping me safe
I know your arms they can reach out to hold me
Even when I'm feeling alone
[Chorus]
(comes naturally)
Like every breath I breath
(don't have to think)
It's second nature to me
I close my eyes
And You are there with me
You know me
You see me
You hear me
You heal me
[Chorus]
