As You Find Me

Hillsong United's song 'As You Find Me' delves deep into the themes of human frailty and divine grace. The lyrics paint a vivid picture of the human experience, marked by moments of strength and vulnerability, faithfulness and recklessness. The singer acknowledges their own brokenness and the cyclical nature of their spiritual journey, oscillating between holding everything together and watching it fall apart. This duality is a universal experience, making the song relatable to anyone who has faced life's ups and downs.

The chorus emphasizes the concept of unconditional love and grace. The lines 'I was found before I was lost, I was Yours before I was not' highlight the idea that divine love and grace are constants, existing even before one is aware of them. This grace is described as something that cannot be earned or added up, which 'wrecks' the singer, leaving them in awe of such boundless love. The song suggests that despite all mistakes and imperfections, this divine love remains steadfast, offering redemption and acceptance.

The bridge of the song brings a sense of surrender and gratitude. The singer questions their own worthiness to praise such glory but ultimately offers their 'borrowed breath' to the divine. The acknowledgment that 'You don’t need a single thing and still You want my heart' underscores the selfless nature of this love. The repeated affirmation that 'Your love’s too good to leave me here' serves as a powerful reminder of the transformative power of divine love, encouraging the listener to embrace this love fully and without hesitation.
