Lyrics:
Stuck here on this highway
In a river of red lights
For at least another mile
There’s no relief in sight
Felling all alone but
Then from the radio comes
A singer to remind me
Something I already know
In this moment, You are here with me
In this moment, You are closer than the air I breathe
You’re the God who reigns in Heaven
And it’s amazing indeed
That You are here with me
In this moment
A few things on my checklist
That I need to do downtown
So I step on to the sidewalk
Full of people all around
Someone said the city
Can be a lonely place
But even though I know
I can’t find one familiar face
Anywhere, anytime I’m on my own
I’ll hold on to the promise that I will never be alone
Even though it’s midnight
And I’m lying in the dark
I think of You up in Heaven
Yet You are in my heart

Behind the Song:
"I co-wrote this song with Tony Wood and Jonathan Crumpton, but it’s probably one of the fastest songs I’ve ever written. I wrote the music in about 10 minutes or so. Tony is one of those guys who write lyrics that are so easy to fit to melodies. I think he handed me the lyrics and stepped out to get a cup of coffee. By the time he got back with his coffee I had the music done. The song takes snapshots of those moments when everything is going wrong, or you’re having a bad day, but it hits you that even in the midst of it all, God is with you." - Michael Boggs (FFH)
