Take Me to the King
Tamela Mann Lyrics

Take me to the king
I am in need of divine intervention; bring me to my God

I don't have much to bring
I have nothing valuable to offer except my broken heart

My heart is torn in pieces
I am emotionally shattered and in distress

It's my offering
This pain and sorrow is all I have to give to the Lord

Truth is I'm tired
I am exhausted in my efforts and faith

Options are few
I have run out of ideas and strategies to make things better

I'm trying to pray
I am attempting to reach out to God for help

But where are You?
I feel abandoned by God and cannot sense His presence

I'm all churched out
I have attended church but still feel unfulfilled or empty

Hurt and abused
I have suffered from emotional or physical pain and trauma

I can't fake
I cannot pretend that everything is okay when it is not

What's left to do?
I am at a loss of further actions to take

Truth is I'm weak
I am emotionally and spiritually drained; I lack strength

No strength to fight
I am unable to battle or overcome my troubles alone

No tears to cry
I have cried so much that I cannot cry anymore

Even if I tried
Even if I wanted to cry, I cannot anymore

But still my soul
Despite my weak condition, my inner being persists

Refuses to die, mm-hmm
My spirit persists beyond the physical or emotional pain

One touch will change my life
A single divine intervention from God will transform my life

Lay me at the throne
Place me before the divine presence of God

Leave me there alone
Let me be with God undisturbed

To gaze upon Your glory
To see the divine presence and majesty of God

And sing to You this song
To worship God with this hymn

Truth is it's time
It is an urgent moment for divine intervention

To stop playing these games
To cease all futile attempts to fix the problems and surrender to God

We need a word
We require a divine message or guidance from God

For the people's pain
To address the suffering and struggle among the people

So Lord speak right now
God, speak immediately to us

Let it fall like rain
Let it pour as abundantly and lavishly as rain does

Oh yeah, we're desperate
We, as humans, are in a state of urgency and helplessness

We're chasing after You, oh
We are pursuing God relentlessly in hopes of getting divine intervention

No rules, no religion
Nothing can limit or shape our communication and relationship with God

I've made my decision
I have chosen to run directly to God for help

To run to You
To seek God's help and intervention

The healer that I need
God, who possesses the power to heal and transform me, is what I need

Lord we're in the way
We are obstructing the flow and presence of God in our lives

We keep making mistakes (the glory)
We continue to sin and stray away from God's ideals and plans

The glory is not for us
The divine glory and power belongs only to God and not to humans

It's all for You
All praise and honor should be directed only towards God

Take me to the king
An urgent plea for divine intervention and help
