Contemporary Christian artist Mark Roach has staged a comeback with a 2012 EP titled Beautiful Truth. Roach first showed up on my radar a couple of years ago, when two of his singles, The Least I Can Do and Surrounded, which did pretty well on the Soft AC/Inspo charts at the time. I’m glad he’s back, because Mark Roach makes some of the most radio-friendly, singable songs to which I’ve ever had the pleasure of listening, and Beautiful Truth does not disappoint.
I’m not sure which single is going to be pushed to Soft AC/Inspo radio, but Here With You is a strong contender, and I have a good feeling about this song. I’m loving the lyrics of Here With You, especially how the verses read Here With You, but the bridge ends up focusing on how God longs to be Here with me. Clever wordplay there. Clearly, the man has the heart of a worshiper, and there should be a ready audience for Roach at Inspo radio, especially with songs like Here With You.

Listen to Mark Roach Here With You
HERE WITH YOU Lyrics
Mark Roach
Lost in You, I’m found
I feel release, I feel at peace
Here with You
The universe slows down
what can I say
Just wanna stay
Here with You
You’re like oxygen to me
Let me breathe
There’s no other place I’d rather be
There’s no other face I’d rather see
I’m down on my knees
‘Cause You are the reason I’m alive
There’s no other voice I’d rather seek
I’m hanging on every word You speak
I’m down on my knees
‘Cause You are the reason I’m alive
Words keep falling short
Can’t seem to find words to define
Here with You
Less I’m finding more
Less on my mind, more of this time
Here with You
You’re like oxygen to me
Let me breathe
There’s no other place I’d rather be
There’s no other face I’d rather see
I’m down on my knees
‘Cause You are the reason I’m alive
There’s no other voice I’d rather seek
I’m hanging on every word You speak
I’m down on my knees
‘Cause You are the reason I’m alive
Yeah
You’re like oxygen to me
You’re the very air I breathe
There’s no face I’d rather see
And to think You long to be
Here with me
There’s no other place I’d rather be
There’s no other face I’d rather see
I’m down on my knees
‘Cause You are the reason I’m alive
There’s no other voice I’d rather seek
I’m hanging on every word You speak
I’m down on my knees
‘Cause You are the reason I’m alive
I’m down on my knees
‘Cause You are the reason I’m alive
Yeah
I’m down on my knees
‘Cause You are the reason I’m alive
