Here I Am

Here I Am


You wouldn't know me
no, this disease I carry
Leaves me cold
Leaves me often without feeling
And I'm exiled
Live apart from all my people
unclean
Mind is sharp, but body feeble
Yeah, you wouldn't know me.


Yet here I am
Calling out to this man
Who's been known, through all the land
Sir, Heal me if you can
Oh heal me if you can.


You wouldn't recognize me
Sin's marks left me disfigured
So broken I can no longer
Recognize this image in the mirror
and now just look
He touched me and I was healed
seen and restored
I am exiled no more
Yeah, you wouldn't recognize me.


Yet here I am,
I was broken, needed healing
Bound by chains no one was seeing
He came and gave me breath
and now my head is reeling
Tell me who is this man
Oh who is this man


I bet you wouldn't see me
Just another face in the crowd
coming to watch
the fate of this prophet and healer
what a turn, not sure i should even be here
Different
I shouldn't be swept up in this mob
Yeah, you couldn't pick me out of this crowd


Yet here I am
the crowd around me is screaming
and I can feel my lips
Betraying the man that is bleeding
Sir, what have I done
Oh God, forgive me what have I done.

Vows


Darling, what did you mean 
when you said for better or for worse
How could you know at the time 

the weight of those five words 

How the lowest of lows and the highest of highs

Would pass before our eyes

How they’d fall on the good and on the bad

Still here we are here, hand in hand


And for as long as we both shall live

I’ll have a hold on you, like the gift it is

And while we are far from perfect 

This Love is surely worth it…

and I will love and cherish you,

‘Til death do us part

Oh til death do us part


Baby what did you mean

When you said In sickness and in health

Did you dream that this would be 

The cards that we’d be dealt

It seems we’ve walked our way across

Little bits of heaven and little bits of hell

Have we passed the worst of it

I guess Only time will tell


And for as long as we both shall live

I’ll have a hold on you, like the gift it is

And while we are far from perfect 

This Love is surely worth it…

and I will love and cherish you,

‘Til death do us part

Oh til death do us part


Honey, what did you mean

When you said for richer or for poor

Did you know the depths it’d take

To shepherd what we have and more

Little moments pretending to hold

the strings of blessings purse

Still learning to grasp loosely what we never really own


But for as long as we both shall live

I’ll have a hold on you, like the gift it is

And while we are far from perfect 

This Love is surely worth it…

and I will love and cherish you,

‘Til death do us part

Oh til death do us part


Yeah, For just as long as we both shall live

I’ll have an hold you - like the gift it is.

And while neither of us is perfect

This love he gives makes it all worth it

And I’ll love you like he does and cherish you

Till death do us part…

Oh oh, till death do us part


To have and to hold

For richer of poorer

To Love and cherish

Till death do us part
