It is a seeming contradiction. God's perfection forces our respect. His eternal mercy makes us want to stay close to him. Held High, Held Close speaks of having perspective. He is our friend and our Lord.

Story behind the song
We wanted a simple but strong message for this song. The main idea manifesting in the phrase "A personal loving God and a righteous and holy God." Held High, Held Close is more than a praise song. It encourages thought and a closer relationship with Jesus Christ.
Lyrics
Held High, Held Close by Kim and Noel Merritt Some people call You the big-man-upstairs That doesn’t work for me Some even say You aren’t even there Can’t believe what they can’t see They don’t know what I know They don’t love who I love Haven’t met the one who set me free You are held high Revered in my mind Yet You are close In my heart and my life You maybe a personal and loving God But You are a righteous and Holy God You maybe a personal and loving God But You are a righteous and Holy God You are held high But You are held close ‘Cause I need them both To worship and to know you You maybe a personal and loving God But You are a righteous and Holy God You maybe a personal and loving God But You are a righteous and Holy God Some people call You a man-made-myth That doesn’t work for me Some even say Your name in vain Just to curse what they can’t see They don’t know who I know They don’t love who I love Haven’t met the one who set me free
