The more I run, the more I hide
I never seem to win that fight
No I don?t want a heart of stone
Too scared to love what I don?t know
O Jesus come and stir my soul
Let love and mercy overflow
Fear corrupts and makes me blind
I need a light that isn?t mine
Here I am, Here I am,
Here I am, Here I am,
All I am, All I am
Here I am, Here I am
I have tasted, I have seen
And felt the distance in between
Close to You is still too far
I want to be right where You are
Here I am, Here I am,
Here I am, Here I am,
All I am, All I am
Here I am, Here I am
I?m on my way
I?m on my way
I?m wide awake
This is a holy place
I?m on my way
I?m on my way
I?m wide awake
This is a holy place
I?m on my way
I?m on my way
I?m wide awake
This is a holy place
I?m on my way
I?m on my way
I?m wide awake
This is a holy place
I?m on my way
I?m on my way
I?m wide awake
This is a holy place
O Jesus come and stir my soul
Let love and mercy overflow
Close to You is still too far
I want to be right where You are
Here I am, Here I am,
Here I am, Here I am,
All I am, All I am
Here I am, Here I am
