If God Lives Here
Zach Williams' song captures a season of spiritual dryness and doubt, where the narrator feels distant from God and questions His presence. The lyrics express a raw honesty about struggling to pray and believe, yet a small encounter with a waitress who prays for him sparks a flicker of hope. The song gradually moves from uncertainty to a quiet assurance that God is still near, even when He seems hidden. It speaks to anyone who has felt abandoned or unsure, reminding them that faith can persist through waiting and that God's presence remains constant.
I'm too young to have a worn-out soul
Living this life sure takes its toll
Sometimes I think even I believe
Maybe God clocked out for a little sleep
It feels like Heaven's closed its doors
Maybe I'm the one He's waiting for
If God lives here, He hides real well
It's been a long time since I can tell
I've been saying some words calling it prayer
Have believed in someone there
I'm still looking but I don't know how
To find Him here in this man now
The waitress swiping down the bar
Said, "Honey, you ain't gone too far"
She bowed her head and prayed for me
Said, "God's still here, just wait and see"
And I can't say I'm sure she's right
But it got me through another night
If God lives here, He hides real well
It's been a long time since I can tell
I've been saying some words calling it prayer
Have believed in someone there
I'm still looking but I don't know how
To find Him here in this man now
Maybe faith ain't lost
Maybe you just wait
My show won't flow but it's never late
If God lives here, He hides real well
It's been a long time since I can tell
I've been saying some words calling it prayer
God, I know that You're still there
I got this feeling and I know somehow
That You're still here in this man now
You're still here
You're still here
You're still here in this man now
You're still here (You're still here)
You're still here (You're still here)
You're still here in this man now
Thank you, guys
Appreciate it
