A Song

I'm going to be making myself very vulnerable by putting this here for the world to read.  But, I'm choosing to do so anyway.  Back in September of 2010, I wrote a song.  It's called Here I Am.  The background to this song is so much of what a Christian's life is about.  You screw up, plead for God to forgive you, and then run back to Him.  Not long after being forgiven, the same thing occurs.  But along the way, others are hurt too.  Maybe not physically, but in some way, whether disappointment, anger, betrayal, etc.  Only some are able to take a place that God is comfortable in, by nature, to forgive.  The second part of the second verse really captures that image of what it is like to have someone you love but whom has hurt you come back asking for you to take them back.  Now, I don't think I've put this song on here before, but I thought I would tonight because I've been thinking about it all day.  

HERE I AM 

Note:  Verses are in 4/4 time, choruses and bridge is in 3/4 time.  

VERSE 1:

Here I am

With a screwed up life

I lay it down

Admitting my pride

With a saddened heart

And rugged knees

Here I am

Lord, save me. 

CHORUS:

Here I am, Lord save me

From myself, I’m on my knees

With a broken heart, and tear filled eyes

Here I am.  I give You my life.

VERSE 2:

Here I am

Once more

I messed up

I left Your hold

You may not find

Me worth anything

Please take me back

I am pleading

CHORUS:

Here I am, Lord save me

From myself, I’m on my knees

With a broken heart, and tear filled eyes

Here I am.  I give You my life.

BRIDGE:

Here I am (x3)

Lord, save me (REPEAT)

CHORUS (x2)

ENDING:

Here I am.

Lord, I give You…my life.
