Who You Are
Marlene Brehm Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I reach out to reach You
But all I'm touching is air
I'm listening to hear You
So I will know You're there
And I don't want to miss another second right now
So I should take some time to be with you

Show me the things I
I need to know cause
I want to see more of
Who You are
Show me in ways I
Can understand so
I'll see your face and You can
Show me who
You are

I let go of my fear
I need to take in Your Word
When you speak it's so clear
How many times til I learn?
And I don't want to miss another second right now
Leave me with nothing, but what is real

So lead me cause I wanna be faithful
Believe me - I'm desiring You




Hold me cause I wanna be able
To feel You even more than I'd
