You Are With Me Worship Song | Names of God from Emmanuel to Cornerstone
You Are With Me Worship Song – Declaring God’s Nearness by Malachi Ben-David
“You are Emmanuel, God with me, always near… You are with me, You are for me, You are in me, all around me, God.”
Malachi Ben-David’s tender “You Are With Me” is a beautiful worship song sung straight to God — not about Him, but to Him. It names who He is one attribute at a time: Emmanuel, Abba, Fortress, Refuge, Cornerstone, Living Water, Bread of Life.
This scripture-rooted Christian worship song is perfect for the quiet moment when a believer simply needs to tell God who He is to them — a song of intimate presence and personal devotion.
The Story & Heart of “You Are With Me”
The song opens on the name that started it all: “You are Emmanuel, God with me, always near.” It moves through the names like a series of embraces — Father and Abba, Fortress and Refuge, Friend closer than a brother, Cornerstone, Living Water, Bread of Life, Strength, Banner, and Light of the world.
The chorus gathers every name into four simple truths: “You are with me, You are for me, You are in me, all around me, God.” Closer than the air we breathe — this is who You are to me.
