Lyrics

I
I AM NOW A THOUSAND MILES AWAY FROM HOME
AND A HUNDRED TIMES I FEEL SO ALL ALONE
THERE’S A WHISPER AND I READ BETWEEN THE LINES
AND KNOW THAT HE IS WITH ME ALL THE TIME

CHORUS
‘CAUSE GOD IS IN YOU
GOD IS IN ME
GOD IS IN EVERYTHING I SEE
EVEN IN DARKNESS
I FEEL NO FEAR
HIS SOUNDING LOVE IS ALL I HEAR
HE MAY NOT SHOW HIS FACE TO ME
BUT IN HIM I TRUST
GOD IS WITH US

II
I BELIEVE IN EVERY WORD HE SAYS TO ME
IN HIS ARMS IS WHERE I ALWAYS LONG TO BE
I CAN FEEL HIM EVEN IN AN EMPTY SPACE
I CAN SEE HIM EVERYTIME IN EVERY PLACE

CHORUS
‘CAUSE GOD IS IN YOU
GOD IS IN ME
GOD IS IN EVERYTHING I SEE
EVEN IN DARKNESS
I FEEL NO FEAR
HIS SOUNDING LOVE IS ALL I HEAR

BRIDGE (2X)
I CAN FEEL HIS PRESENCE HERE
I CAN SEE HIS PRECIOUS SMILE
I CAN HEAR HIS VOICE SAYING,
“I AM WITH YOU, MY CHILD”

REPEAT CHORUS (2X)

CODA
HE MAY NOT SHOW HIS FACE TO ME
BUT IN HIM I TRUST
GOD IS WITH US
O YES, HE IS
GOD IS WITH US

Song Story

Finding solace in God’s reviving presence, Emannuel Lipio penned his soul-stirring gospel composition “God Is With Us”.

After reflecting on God’s overwhelming love and what he has given back for the bounty of blessings in his ASOP Year 6 gospel song entry entitled “Sapat Na Ba”, the former grand finalist took loneliness and longing for home and turned them into a hope-filled, soul-soothing gospel hymn.

Working as a civil engineer in Singapore for five years, the songwriter further reflects on his faith over all the difficulties of being far away from home — a life that can be lonely at times. After his work and during his free time, he would start composing his song, echoing his heart-rending sentiments.

As the song strikes a chord in one’s heart, the gospel song delves deep into God’s love despite one’s troubles, struggles, or even doubts on His presence.

With her soothing vocals, interpreter Cielo Nuñez is set to deliver a moving rendition of the song.
