That Where I Am, There You...
Rich Mullins · Other Songs - Rich Mullins
In my Father's house there are many, many rooms
And I'm going up there now to prepare a place for you
That where I am, there you may also be
If I go prepare a place for you, I will come back again
If I go prepare a place for you, I will come back again
And you know I am the Way, the Truth, the Life, keep my command
That where I am, there you may also be
That where I am, there you may also be
Up where the truth, the truth will set you free
In the world you will have trouble, but I leave you my peace
That where I am, there you may also be
Remember you did not choose me, no I have chosen you
Remember you did not choose me, no I have chosen you
The world will show you hatred, the Spirit show you truth
That where I am, there you may also be
And I've come down from the Father, it's time for me to go back up
Oh, I've come down from the Father, it's time for me to go back up
One command I leave you: Love as I have loved
That where I am, there you may also be
That where I am, there you may also be
Up where the truth, the truth will set you free
In the world you will have trouble, but I leave you my peace
That where I am, there you may also be
That where I am, there you may also be
Up where the truth, the truth will set you free
In the world you will have trouble, but I'm leaving you my peace
That where I am, there you may also be"
That Where I Am, There You...
Rich Mullins' 'That Where I Am, There You...' stands as a profound testament to his unique ability to weave personal testimony with universal longing. Recorded during the early 1990s, the track exemplifies the acoustic, introspective style that defined his discography, characterized by simple instrumentation and deeply felt vocals. The song captures a specific spiritual tension, exploring the distance between the self and the divine while maintaining a gentle, unpretentious tone. It reflects the broader themes found in Mullins' work, where faith is expressed not through dogma but through the quiet observation of daily life. As a staple of his catalog, the recording remains a poignant example of how he blended contemporary Christian influences with a distinctly folk sensibility, creating a body of work that continues to resonate with listeners seeking authenticity in their music.
