Here I am
Down on my knees again
Surrendering all
Surrendering all
Find me here
Lord as You draw me near
I'm Desperate for You
I'm Desperate for You
I surrender
Drench my soul
As mercy and grace unfold
I hunger and thirst
I hunger and thirst
With arms stretched wide
I know You hear my cry
Speak to me now
Speak to me now
I surrender
I surrender
I want to know You more
I want to know You more
I surrender
I surrender
I want to know You more
I want to know You more (Ooh)
(I want to know You more
More of You less of me)
Like a rushing wind
Jesus breathe within
Lord have Your way
Lord have Your way in me (Oh)
Like a mighty storm
Stir within my soul
Lord have Your way
Lord have Your way in me
Like a rushing wind
Jesus breathe within
Lord have Your way
Lord have Your way in me
Like a mighty storm
Stir within my soul
Lord have Your way
Lord have Your way in me (Yeah)
(Oh yes Lord
Oh we're desperate for You
Fully completely Lord
Oh we're desperate for You)
Like a rushing wind
Jesus breathe within
Lord have Your way
Lord have Your way in me
Like a mighty storm
Stir within my soul
Lord have Your way
Lord have Your way in me
