Here I Am
Barren Cross Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I've been a fool Lord, can you forgive me for what l have done
I've been living my life by my own rules, l walked away from Your holy Son
Oh God now l finally realize that there is only one thing l can do
I repent from my sin, set me free once again, Lord myself l present unto you

(Chorus)
Here l am, take all of me,
Send Your almighty power to come over me
Here l am. Take all of me,
You have given me everything I’ll ever need
Forgive me

You hold the answers Lord, the key to this human race
To know that I’m safe and secure in You’re arms here on earth
There is no better place
Oh God give me faith to live by your Word glorify You in all that l do
It is this that l pray, in Your arms I will stay
My God l cry out to you

(Chorus)




(Bridge, solo)
(Chorus)

As a massive BC fan, I was hyped like crazy when Rattle Your Cage was released. I thought the album was borderline drivel. However, THIS song alone made the disc worth every penny. One of the best worship songs ever recorded.

Steve, thank you for your kind words. I've been a Barren Cross fan from the beginning. Any time I make one of these Music Video Tributes I always want it to have the best quality I can do. Sometimes it is a hit or miss. "Here I Am" turned out good. It really means a lot when the Artist approves of it. It takes time and patients when making them. God bless you bro...
