This time I finally see the reason why
I can't do this alone
It took some time and concentration
To believe it, this I know

I need to build my faith sometimes
But I am so comfortable in line
I'm up, there's no more time
To try to mess with this design

Tonight's complete, everyone's asleep
And I wanna say these words to You
I'll be Your hand, take me as I am
I just wanna be with You

Take me as I am
'Cause I'm going
I was too scared to start
Now I'm too scared to let go

Take me as I am
'Cause I'm growing
But it's so hard to tell
When I'm not used to this, so

Take me as I am
'Cause I'm going
I was too scared to start
Now I'm too scared to let go

Take me as I am
'Cause I'm growing
But it's so hard to tell
When I'm not used to this, so

I lift my voice to sing now
Let the sound of my heart ring out
These hands aren't holding me down
Never again will I be without

I need to build my faith sometimes
But I am so comfortable in line
I'm up, there's no more time
To try to mess with this design

Tonight's complete, everyone's asleep
And I wanna say these words to You
I'll be Your hand, take me as I am
I just wanna be with You

Take me as I am
'Cause I'm going
I was too scared to start
Now I'm too scared to let go

Take me as I am
'Cause I'm growing
But it's so hard to tell
When I'm not used to this, so

Take me as I am
'Cause I'm going
I was too scared to start
Now I'm too scared to let go

Take me as I am
'Cause I'm growing
But it's so hard to tell
When I'm not used to this, so
