Jeremy Camp's song 'Burden Me' is a prayer asking God to give the singer a deep compassion for hurting people and a willingness to carry the weight of sharing God's love and plan. The lyrics express a desire to be used by God to reach those who are searching desperately for answers. The repeated phrase 'here I am' echoes a posture of surrender and readiness, similar to Isaiah's response in the Bible. The song focuses on mission, empathy, and obedience to God's calling.

All the people that I see
How they search so desperately
Cause all I want, all I need, is for you to give to me
A heart for those who need to know how much you care
I can see the hurting coming everyday searching for the answer
And I just need you to
[Chorus:]
Burden me with the weight that you love me
Burden me with your plan
Burden me with the message that you've given me
Burden me here I am
Well the purpose within me
Oh how it burns so fervently
Cause All I want and all I need is for you to give to me
A heart for those who need to know how much you care
I can see the hurting coming everyday searching for the answer
Well I just need you to
[Chorus:]
Burden me with the weight that you love me
Burden me with your plan
Burden me with the message that you've given me
Burden me here I am
[Chorus x3]
Here I am, here I am, here I am, here I am
Here I am, here I am, here I am
Here I am, here I am, here I am, here I am
Here I am, here I am, here I am
