Here I am my knees are on this floor again
Take away my pride, reveal this heart within
And send Your rain of mercy, let the healing begin
‘Cause You’ve brought me to this place and I can honestly say
That slowly I’ve forgotten all the where’s and why’s
Forgotten all the times You’ve been right by my side
And I’ve begun to think that life has passed me by
But it’s only by Your grace that I come here and say
Here I am, falling in the arms of grace
Here I am, seeing You’re the only way
Here I am, You have come to plead my case
Here I am, inside the walls of mercy and grace
Slowly I’m becoming one that’s more like You
To live the kind of life that You would have me to
But forgiveness only comes to those who ask it to
So I’m asking for Your grace as I kneel here today
So I will run into Your arms, as You reach out Your hands
I will fall into Your sweet embrace, oh Lord, here I am

Behind the Song:"In an attempt to understand grace within a culture that has taught us you can only get what you work for, it is difficult to truly comprehend God’s mercy because there is nothing we can do to earn it and nothing we can do to pay God back for it. But when we are able to come to God with nothing in our hands only asking forgiveness, it is then we find ourselves surrounded by a God who offers His grace freely and willingly." -
