I come before you now and I lay down at your feet I come before you now with the weight of this day I come before you now in Humble praise and joyful Adoration I come before you now to show honor and thanksgiving
I praise you for your goodness and for another day of living I praise you for your love and mercy brand new every sunrise I praise you for your grace and peace that stills my restless soul I praise you for the gifts you give and blessings from my life's role
I sit at your feet and listen to all you have to say You walk by my side and give me the spirit to illuminate my way I sit at the table and take in the great feast and try to go out and to share with the least
I lay down my burdens my stresses my troubles and tears You raise me up with strength and peace give me rest and quiet my fears I lay my heart before you bruised, broken and unclean You lift my eyes towards Heaven and to yourself bruised and broken so I could be redeemed
I fight surrender even though surrendering is the only way to win the fight I don't let go of the chains that bind me When you don't let me go and I cling to the one who sets me free I don't trust you enough to completely be open But you can be trusted completely, trust me, I know
With all of my faults I try to run away and hide But you love me the same and run to me to bring me by your side How great this love that I don't deserve It's painfully obvious how much you love us if we stop to observe!
