Here I Am
Music Brian DeKam
Lyrics by Tim Glenn


What is this skin that covers me?
It bruises and it tears so easily.
It borders flesh and bone,
Oh I'm just like everyone...but different.

I come as child, they want a king.
Amaze the crowds, confound the priests.
It's the first that some have heard there's power in your word. 
But they're listening.

Here I am...ready to be everything that you want me to be.
Take my life into your hands
Prepare the way, I'm under your command...Here I am.

Five thousand here, I'm still alone.
There's food enough for everyone.
Oh they gather as I heal, but not one asks how I feel.  Not ever.

Is it too much to fight off sleep?
Just stay awake and watch for thieves.
With a kiss I've been betrayed,
I've been waiting for this day...forever.

Here I am, I'm ready to be everything that you want me to be
Take my life into your hands
Prepare the way, I'm under your command. Here I am.

What is this sin that covers me?
It bares my blood for all to see.
It is finished, all is done. Father please recieve your son.
I'm coming...

Here I am, I'm ready to be everything that you want me to be
Take my life into your hands
Prepare the way, I'm under your command.
Here I am.
