lyrics

here i am
what would you have of me
my every word an offering
turn my eyes toward the things of you
you made me new, to shine for you
like an empty canvas with no meaning
the brush-stroke of your love fell on me to show your beauty
displayed in all the galleries for all to see
your consistency through all my mistakes, my impurities
take this troubled heart
renew every part
i can't escape your notice
illuminate me from deep within
see the calloused hands
of this broken man
shine a light through him
beyond the shadow cast by a doubting eye
i'll be the poet who sings your glory
and lives what i sing every day
