Listen to "Fly With Me"!
I'm often surprised at how many people have only a partial understanding of the basic teachings of the Bible. Things like where we will spend eternity, what the role of the Holy Spirit is, and where Jesus is, right now, and what He's doing? God's Word teaches us that Jesus is physically sitting at the right hand of God the Father interceding for us and acting as our mediator to the Father. In I Timothy 2:5-6 the apostle Paul wrote, "For there is one God and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus, who gave himself as a ransom for all men." And in Romans 8:34 Paul wrote "Christ Jesus, who died—more than that, who was raised to life—is at the right hand of God and is also interceding for us."
"Fly With Me" came about out of this understanding of where Jesus is, and having a desire to physically enter into His presence to worship Him. And more than that, it is an invitation for others to come and worship Him with me. There's just something about worshiping the Lord together with others who share the same adoration for our Savior.
The lyrics of this song vividly portray what our eyes of faith see as we fly and soar in spirit into the throne room; Jesus, himself, sitting at the right hand of God the Father. There we kneel together as we worship our Savior and our Father.
While this is a song about bringing others with us into the holy of holies to worship, it's also about the intimacy that we have with Jesus and our Father God. This song doesn't just leave us on our knees in worship but it takes us directly onto the lap of God and face-to-face with Jesus as we caress his face and adore him who's love for us is unmeasurable.

So close your eyes, humble yourself, and freely experience the intimacy of God in your personal quiet times and even when you worship him together with others. With certainty we will one day see Jesus face to face and perhaps even now we can begin to consider how we will respond when we see him. Will you only kneel before him in worship because you are unworthy to touch even his sandals, or will you in your new found righteousness embrace him and touch his face and kiss his scars? Many will be watching when you do and they won't be thinking how strange you are; instead they will be eagerly anticipating their moment with Jesus.
As we worship in community, let's not look at how others worship for any reason except to be in awe and wonder at how in love they are with Jesus. Today we enter by faith into his presence to worship him but soon we will be standing before him in a real physical place and we will be able to worship Him face to face for all eternity. Jesus we love you!
Close your eyes and come into His presence
Enter through His gates with eyes of faith
See our Savior sitting by our Father
There they wait for us to enter in
So fly with me
Into the courts of heaven
Kneel with me in worship at His throne
Soar with me into the holy places
And touch the face of the One who loves us so
