Phenomenon
Rita Springer's 'Phenomenon' is a worship song that emphasizes seeking God's presence over miraculous displays or emotional experiences. The lyrics express a desire to draw near to God, to enter His chambers, and to know Jesus personally rather than being motivated by signs or people's praise. The song includes a prayer of repentance, asking God to turn the singer's heart away from religious routine and toward genuine devotion. It affirms faith in Jesus as the way and truth, and acknowledges God's power over creation. The overall message is about prioritizing intimacy with God and surrendering to His lordship.
I am not here just to see a phenomenon
I am not here for experiential bliss
I simply come to the feet of the God I serve
The one that I love
I am not here for the sake of the people's praise
I have not come to see the thunder and rain
I simply come into courts of the King above
The one that I Praise
I want to find the way to his chambers
I want to be in the presence of the Lord
I am in need of his mercy and favor
Forever more
I am not here for the sake of a miracle
I am not here just to see the dead raised
Yes I believe in power supernatural
But that's not way IÍm saved
I've had enough of this life of a Pharisee
I want to know this Jesus who's been loving me
I'm running into the temple just to see
The one that I love
I want to find the way to his chambers
I want to be in the presence of the Lord
I am in need of his mercy and favor
Forever more
I give my heart to the one they call Jesus
Seeking out first the very kingdom of God
You are the way and the truth I believe it
You are my phenomenon
You can move mountains whenever you want to
You can speak to the sea whenever it pleases you
Forgive me oh Lord if I've been a market place
Turn me upside down so I will seek your face
And if your presence comes into this place
So will the thunder and rain
