Believe it or not, the chorus of this song actually came to me in a dream. I woke up and quickly added the verses. It is one of my favorites of all my songs and is wonderful to sing while rocking and bouncing babies or pushing children on swings. It has become my go-to song for calming little ones, and it always comforts me too.
We are closer than the children who sat on Your knee
As You blessed them,
As You bless me
We are closer than the leper You touched fearlessly
As You cleansed him,
As You cleanse me
We are closer than the twelve in the upper room,
Closer than the women at the empty tomb,
Closer than Thomas with his hand in Your scars,
Closer than John with his head on Your heart,
Because I am inside of You
And You are inside of me
–Now and forever,
Oh so securely
That I am inside of You
And You are inside of me
Now and forever
United with Thee.
We are closer than the woman whose hair wiped Your feet
As You forgave her
As You forgive me
We are closer than the one who grabbed Your robe on the street
And You healed her
As You heal me
We are closer than the twelve in the upper room
Closer than the women at the empty tomb
Closer than Thomas with his hand in Your scars
Closer than John with his head on Your heart
Because I am inside of You
And You are inside of me
Now and forever
Oh so securely
That I am inside of You
And You are inside of me
Now and forever
United with Thee.
