[Verse 1:]
I never imagine
I'd feel this way
Hopelessly lost
Alone in my pain
I've tried to get by on my own
Now I know I was wrong
I was wrong
[Chorus:]
Here I am
Please take this heart
Lord I need all that you are
Capture me now
Let your mercy rain down
I'm waiting for just
One touch of your hand
Here I am
[Verse 2:]
Can you mend what I've broken
Give back what I lost (Give back what I lost)
Heal and restore
The wounds and these scars
Lord I am honestly desperately
Trusting in you, I'm trusting in you
[Chorus:]
Here I am
Please take this heart (Take this heart)
Lord I need all that you are
Capture me now
Let your mercy rain down
I'm waiting for just
One touch of your hand
Here I am
[Verse 3:]
Lord bring me back again
Oh Lord I need you love
There's nowhere else turn
I've got nowhere else to run
[Chorus:]
Here I am
Please take this heart (Please take this heart)
Lord I need all that you are
Capture me now
Let your mercy rain down
I'm waiting for just
One touch of your hand
Here I am
Here I am
Please take this heart (Take this heart)
Lord I need all that you are (All that you are)
Capture me now
Let your mercy rain down
I'm waiting for just
One touch of your hand (One touch of your hand)
Here I am
Here I am
Here I am
