Hillsong Young and Free, “Where You Are”

Hillsong Young and Free has released the carrier single from its sophomore album, Youth Revival. Titled Where You Are, it follows in the same vein of its predecessor singles, combining worshipful lyrics with club beats to cater to a younger market of teen and young adult Christians who may find the group’s older sibling, UNITED, a little too hipster for their taste.

Where You Are, however, is not as instantly catchy as the previous singles of the group’s self-titled debut release. Alive and Wake were Christian radio hits across both sides of the Atlantic, and the subdued dancefloor beats of Where You Are allow Aodhan King’s voice to really shine, and the listener to reflect on the lyrics of the song, which focus the spotlight back on the worshiper’s heart to be in the spiritual presence of His Savior. Works for me.

WHERE YOU ARE Lyrics
Hillsong Young and Free

I lived
Heart on a wire
Hand in the fire for so long
But You’ve shown me better
A new kind of love
It’s ever the one I want

I’m lifting you higher, higher
There’s nothing that I’d rather do
A sweet elevation of praises
There’s no one I love more than You

I never knew a love like this before
The kind of life that I cannot find on my own
I’ve seen the world but I have never been so sure
That I want Your heart
God, I just want to be where You are
Where You are
I just want to be where You are

Your love, like nothing I’ve seen
My wildest of dreams don’t come close
Life never no better than living like this
I cannot resist You Lord

I’m lifting you higher, higher
There’s nothing that I’d rather do
A sweet elevation of praises
There’s no one I love more than You

I never knew a love like this before
The kind of life that I cannot find on my own
I’ve seen the world but I have never been so sure
That I want Your heart
God, I just want to be where You are
Where You are
I just want to be where You are
Where You are
I just want to be where You are

And after all this time with You by my side
I can’t imagine what it’d be like on my own
I’ve made up my heart, this love is all I’ve got
And You’re the only one I know worth living for

A sweet elevation of praises
There’s no one I love more than You

I never knew a love like this before
The kind of life that I cannot find on my own
I’ve seen the world but I have never been so sure
That I want Your heart
God I just want to be where You are
Where You are
I just want to be where You are
Where You are
I just want to be where You are
Where You are
I just want to be where You are
