Here I Am Again Lord

Here I am Lord, needing your mercy once again.
Falling down and getting up, seems this fight I’ll never win.

My heart cry’s out for you Lord, help me get it right this time.
Why must I fall so much Lord. Why is the battle mostly in the climb?

Sin is not my choice Lord, yet it’s in the choices that I make.
The more I reach for you Lord, the more poisonous the snake.

The wounds that cut me deeply, leaving scars so deep, that others can see.
The things that wasn’t my fault Lord, those are the same things that set me free.

The hurt it may have come, and entangled me in its web of defeat.
To the spider, who’s so hungry, I am just another meal so sweet.

Sin is never far from where I’ve laid down my heavy cross.
Every splinter, every pain, every torn piece of flesh, is for a greater cost.

Who am I to carry my Jesus’ saving name, for one and for all?
For there’s a King, who died and rose again for us, yes, even when we fall.

Here I am again Lord, needing your mercy and your love.
Here I am again Lord, calling on your name to rise above.

Every step I take is for a purpose far greater than I.
Every sin that has me bound, a Savior had to die.

For the broken and the dirty, for the sin others can not see.
For the addictions that held me together, yet destroyed me piece by piece.

Yet on my knees crying, I am bowed down to the power of the cross.
The cross that dripped the blood of deliverance, for all who are lost.

The ones who yelled and screamed “this wicked man, he must die.”
They’re the same ones who now hurt and crucify, you and I.

We can’t ever know the cost of what Jesus did that day. Except through the power of the blood, that washes every scarlet sin away.

Here i am again Lord, needing your forgiveness and your grace.
Here I am again Lord falling on my face.

Here I am again Lord, longing to be free from my every sin.
Help me get it right Lord, so one day this fight I’ll win.

Here I am again Lord, just like I am every day.
Help me be proud of my scars Lord, they help show others the way.

Here I am again Lord to crucify my flesh to the cross.
Needing a Savior, who in His death and resurrection, there was much cost.

Here I am again Lord, take these sins far from me. Here I am again Lord, bless the darkness of my path, so others may see.

I don’t want these sins Lord, you know each one causes much regret and pain.
Here I am again Lord, make me new in Jesus Name!
