I bow my head to pray
I don’t know what to say
I’m not sure how to fix
The things I’m dealing with
I’m in a desperate place
I need to share the weight
But I just don’t know how
To let it all pour out
And though I’m silent
My heart is crying
‘Cause I was made
To come to You

So I pray
God, I need you
More than words can say
Right here in this moment
You know my heart
You know my need
You know every part of me
So even if it’s just to speak Your name
I’m gonna pray

I’ve failed to find the time
But You’ve been calling out
I let the days go by
As if I could live without
But it’s gotta be here and now
I won’t be pulled away
‘Cause it’s just You and I
So let the world around us fade

Father, I’m in a desperate place
Father, I know you can bear the weight
Father, take me in your arms, as I speak your name

I lift my hands and pray
I lift my hands and pray

You know my heart
You know my need
You know every part of me
More than words
You want my life
Take it as an offering
