Take Me Away
Mandi Mapes Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I was seventeen
I remember the night that you found me cryin' on the floor By the bathroom Sink Always wanted to be happy
I tried everything I knew
Who would believe I would find everything I need in you
Tears fall down my face when I hit my knees to pray Lord, take me away just take me away I've got my share of past regrets, photographs of bad mistakes
I cared what everyone thought but these day
I just let the haters hate I was caught in the middle. indecisive in my shame But my whole world came fallin' down the night You called my name And sin was suffocating me and I could not see

Take me back to the summer when I was seventeen
I want to relive the time in my life when I was younger and carefree
I remember the night that you found me cryin' on the floor By the bathroom Sink
I recall the specific moment when you comforted me when I was at my lowest
Always wanted to be happy
My lifelong pursuit has been to find happiness
I tried everything I knew
I exhausted all my efforts to find happiness
Who would believe I would find everything I need in you
I never expected that I would find everything that I need in you

I was caught in the middle. indecisive in my shame
I was stuck in a situation where I couldn't make a decision and felt ashamed about it
But my whole world came fallin' down the night You called my name
My life changed for the better when you came into it
And sin was suffocating me and I could not see
I was consumed by sin and could not see my way out
My heart failed within me
I was at my breaking point and felt defeated
But your arms are not too short to save
You have the power to save me from my troubles
And what else can I say?
I am at a loss for words
Just take me away. just take me away
I plead to be taken away from my troubles and into a better place

Here's the lyrics:
In Your arms is where I want to be
❤❤
❤❤When my world comes crashing down on me
So hold me close keep me Yours always
Bid me, break me, be my Rock
For now and all my days
Whom have I when my heart begins to fail
And sorrow fills the streets and sounds of death prevail?
Jesus is my hope, I know He stills the wind
So take my very life away
As long as I get Him
My soul longs for the day I'll see Your face
When sin and death will pass and tears are wiped away
So let the sky fall down and earth and cities quake
I'll say of my God and King
Lord blessed be Your name
