Grammar:

• You are here, moving in our midst

  ➔ Present Continuous Tense

  ➔ The phrase "moving in our midst" uses the present continuous tense ("is/are + verb + -ing") to describe an action that is happening right now. It signifies an ongoing presence and activity.

• Way maker, miracle worker, promise keeper

  ➔ Noun phrases acting as appositives

  ➔ These are all noun phrases that rename or describe the subject (You). Each phrase – "way maker", "miracle worker", "promise keeper" – expands on who or what the subject is.

• Light in the darkness, my God, That is who You are

  ➔ Demonstrative Pronoun and Relative Clause

  ➔ "That" is a demonstrative pronoun referring back to the qualities described in the previous line (way maker, miracle worker, etc.). "That is who You are" forms a relative clause defining the subject.

• Even when I don't see it, You're working

  ➔ Adverbial Clause of Time/Concession + Present Continuous

  ➔ "Even when I don't see it" is an adverbial clause of time or concession introducing a situation that contrasts with the main clause. "You're working" (You are working) is in the present continuous tense, showing an ongoing action.

• You never stop, You never stop working

  ➔ Present Simple Tense for General Truths/Habits

  ➔ The present simple tense ("stop") expresses a general truth or a consistent characteristic about the subject (You). It implies that stopping is not something that ever happens.

• Oh his name is above depression

  ➔ Preposition of Place (figurative)

  ➔ The preposition "above" is used to indicate that 'His name' has a greater power, importance or influence than 'depression'. It's not a literal physical location, but a figurative one denoting superiority.
