🎵 I Seek Him While the World Tries to Hide Him 🎤 Alisha James 💿 Genre: R&B / Soul / Hip Hop ABOUT THIS SONG I Seek Him is a soulful, 90s-inspired hip-hop prayer carried by a majestic female vocal. It begins with a question rather than a declaration: she wonders why grace has found her, a stranger far from home, straining through the rain and the world's clamor to catch one clear word from God. That chorus is the song's heartbeat. Between its returns, the verses unfold as three callings. The first asks her to carry the divine image and walk with purpose, making each step new. The second hands her authority and riches, and she sees the irony at once: power and wealth mean nothing to her next to the chance to give love. The third calling is the hardest. She is asked to touch the wounds of the one she follows. Young, unpolished and unsure, she is met not with judgment but with an open, scarred hand, a mark of love she cannot earn. By the final chorus her question has softened into gratitude as she follows the light toward that embrace.
Lyrics
[Chorus] Why am I so favored of the Lord? A stranger in a strange land In the rain, here I stand Trying to hear your voice All I hear is the world and its noise I follow your light to guide me To your hand and your embrace [Verse] Your first commandment, you laid it down, I wear your image, I’m wearing your crown. In sacred spaces, I’m walking true, Each step I take, it's a world made new. [Verse] You said to make the paths I roam blessed, A royal cloak of power, I wear it confessed. This weight upon my shoulders, it guides my way, Every single moment, I embrace each day. [Chorus] Why am I so favored of the Lord? A stranger in a strange land In the rain, here I stand Trying to hear your voice All I hear is the world and its noise I follow your light to guide me To your hand and your embrace [Verse] Your second commandment laid on me, Take the scepter, set me free, Oh, the irony cuts deep, you see, For wealth and power, they don’t mean a thing, In this game, it’s love I want to bring. [Chorus] Why am I so favored of the Lord? A stranger in a strange land In the rain, here I stand Trying to hear your voice All I hear is the world and its noise I follow your light to guide me To your hand and your embrace [Verse] Your third commandment to me It was the hardest one yet You bid me to feel your wounds I'm no doubting Thomas, still in my youth I am so uncouth Yet, you extended your hand See your wrist and palm The scars are your brand [Chorus] Why am I so favored by the Lord? A stranger in a strange land In the rain, here I stand Trying to hear your voice All I hear is the world and its noise I follow your light to guide me To your hand and your embrace [Outro]
