Lord, hear me
I am open
I surrender all my sins
All my pride gets me nowhere
Leaves me stranded, emptyhanded
So shatter the darkness in my life
As I carry this cross both day and night
All the way
All the way
To heaven
'Cause You know who I am
Lord, please take my hand
And lead me into community
You know who I am
Lord, help me to stand
Falling in love with your family
I confess to you, Jesus
And to you, my brothers and sisters
That I have sinned, and need forgiveness
Pray for me and I for you
So shatter the darkness in my life
As I carry this cross both day and night
All the way
All the way
To heaven
'Cause You know who I am
Lord, please take my hand
And lead me into community
You know who I am
Lord, help me to stand
Falling in love with your family
You know who I am
Lord, please take my hand
And lead me into community
You know who I am
Lord, help me to stand
Falling in love with your family
You know who I am
Lord, please take my hand
And lead me into community
You know who I am
Lord, help me to stand
Falling in love with your family
All the way (all the way)
All the way (all the way)
To heaven
All the way (all the way)
All the way (all the way)
To heaven
