Take Me In
Margaret Becker Lyrics

This is a cold, cold rain
The feelings and emotions that I have been experiencing that have left me feeling dejected and lonely are like a cold rain that chills me to the bone.

That I've been wandering in
I am lost in my life with no real sense of direction or purpose.

And it's put a chill right through me
The challenges that I have faced have affected me to my very core and left me feeling hopeless and alone.

From my soul to my skin
Every part of me, inside and out, has been affected by the struggles I have endured.

I've come a long, long way
I have been on a journey, perhaps both physically and emotionally, and have traveled a great distance to get to this point in my life.

Only to find
Despite all that I have experienced and achieved, I have come to realize that something is still missing from my life.

That It's You and Your heart that keeps the light
What I have been searching for can only be found in a higher power, a divine being or force that has been watching over me and guiding me all along.

Burning in mine
The light that has been illuminating my life and giving me hope is a reflection of the divine and can only come from a deeper, more meaningful place.

Won't You take me in?
I am asking for help, for a spiritual guide to lead me to where I need to be.

Take me by reason
Guide me with logic and rationality to help me understand the truth behind your teachings.

Take me by surprise
Help me to experience the unexpected and to be open to new ideas and experiences that will change me for the better.

Take me by my heart
Help me to feel deeply and connect with others in a meaningful and emotionally resonant way.

Or take me by my eyes
Help me to see more fully and clearly, to gain knowledge and wisdom that will help me on my journey.

I've been chasing dreams
I have been pursuing my own ambitions and desires, but have found that they are ultimately unfulfilling.

And I've captured a few
Despite my shortcomings and failures, I have still managed to achieve some of my goals and dreams.

But when I wrap them 'round my shoulders
When I hold onto my successes too tightly and use them to define myself and my worth, they end up being meaningless and unsatisfying.

The rain just bleeds right through
The struggles that I have faced inevitably bleed through to every aspect of my life, making it impossible to shake off my negative emotions and experiences.

Take me, take me, take me
I am begging for guidance and help from a divine being, someone or something that can take me to a better place.

To Your water's rim
To the source of everything that is meaningful and fulfilling in my life, the spiritual center that will nourish and sustain me for eternity.

Lift me up and take me in
I am asking for help not only to find my way but also to feel a sense of belonging and purpose in this world.

So here I am
This is me, vulnerable and open to the guidance and love of a higher power.

Don't know to kneel or stand
I am unsure of how to approach this divine force and need guidance on how to respectfully engage with it.

I know there's forgiveness somewhere
I am seeking forgiveness from a higher power for my mistakes and shortcomings, trusting that it is there for me when I ask for it.

Would You help me find it my Friend?
I am humbly asking for help, and am hoping that the divine force that guides me will take me under its wing and offer me the forgiveness and guidance that I so desperately need.

Come on now,
I am becoming impatient and need guidance to help me stay grounded and focused.

Can't You?
I am imploring this higher power to take action and lift me up, to give me the guidance and support that I need in order to move forward.

Wont You
I am extending my hand and my heart to this divine force, hoping that it will take hold and guide me to a better life.

Take me in?
I am begging for help, imploring for forgiveness and guidance, and humbly asking for a chance to start anew.
