Lyrics

Here I cry,

Lord, we pray,

our fac es down,

our hands are raised.

You called us out,

we turned a way,

we’ve turned a way.

With ship wrecked faith,

the i dols rise.

We do what is right

in our own eyes.

May Our chil dren now in will pay the price.

Let We need Your light, let Lord, shine Your light.

If we’ve ev er need ed (F#m)You,

Lord, it’s (Gsus2)now,

Lord, it’s (A)now.

We are des p’rate for Your (F#m)hand.

We’re reach ing (Gsus2)out.

We’re reach ing (A)out.

With All our hearts,

the all our strength, We with all our minds,

we’re at Your feet.
