Shekinah (Here I Am)

From Quest For God

Lyrics

You called out from the fire
(burning)
Made Your presence known
A glimpse of your desire
(consuming)
God in search of man

Your presence is in exile
Hidden by our modern ways
Pillar of fire, column of smoke
May your Spirit hover once again

Descend from the sky
Leave the comfort of your throne
Cloud of Shekinah
Make Your glory known

Haunted by Your Holiness
We can only respond with awe
(Here I am)
Overwhelmed by Your mystery
We accept the weight of your call (law)

Your presence is in exile
Hidden by our modern ways
Pillar of fire, column of smoke
May your Spirit hover once again

Descend from the sky
Leave the comfort of Your throne
Cloud of Shekinah
Make Your glory known

We stand beneath Your mountain
With Your fire on our lips

Kadosh
Kadosh
Kadosh
Adonai Tzeva'ot
Me'lo khol ha'aretz kavod

Holy
(Holy)
Holy
(Holy)
Is the Lord God Almighty
The whole earth is full of Your glory
The whole earth is full of Your glory
The whole earth is full of Your glory

Your presence dwells among us
Returned to Your rightful place
Pillar of fire, column of smoke
Your Spirit hovers once again

Descended from the sky
Left the comfort of Your throne
Cloud of Shekinah
You made Your glory known
You made Your glory known
You made Your glory known

May Your Spirit rest on us
As we embrace the covenant
Of Your Kingdom
