Dear God
Dear God it's been a while since we had a chat
So I thought I'd let you know just where my life was at
You know it's been a pretty rough day for me today
All my hopes and dreams came crashing down and my plans were washed away
It seems that every time that I think that everything's all sweet
There's something else just comes along and knocks me right up off my feet
And usually I just fall on my face and take a while to get up
But I'm sick of life like that so this time I thought hold up
How 'bout falling on my knees while this prayer to you I write
Cos I know that it's only you that can dull the pain that I feel inside
And how you do, I know I'll never understand
But as a broken man with broken plans...Here I am

Giving you my everything
I'm laying my whole world down
Giving you my heart and soul
Here I am here I am
Giving you my everything
I'm laying my whole world down
Giving you my heart and soul
Here I am here I am

Dear God it's me again, I've had a good day today
Just thought I'd have a talk to you to see what you've got to say
Been thinking about those plans of mine and why they didn't work out
I read your book to have a look at what this life is all about
And I realised that it's not about me, my way only causes strife
That's why I need to get it right and get your purpose in my life
So I thankyou for the life in you and that life to me you give
I pray that as I live my life it's your life that I live
And as I come before you now I'm so much better off than before
Because this broken part of me is right now being restored
So it's to you that I'll be lifting up my hands
Still falling on my knees cos I still don't understand but here I am

Giving you my everything
I'm laying my whole world down
Giving you my heart and soul
Here I am here I am
Giving you my everything
I'm laying my whole world down
Giving you my heart and soul
Here I am here I am

Dear God sometimes I just don't understand this life
Cos every time that I think that I got it sorted out alright
There's something else just comes along, a twist I didn't see
And my life get's twisted up and I had enough and I need your help
You see there must be more to life than just surviving day to day
Cos otherwise it's nothing but a meaningless decay
And the meaninglessness is what makes me hollowed up inside
So show me what it is that makes me really come alive
Cos I want to be alive in you as this life in you I live
And living life all hollowed out leaves no alternative
But to fall upon my knees and pray a prayer that's overdue
Lord fill the void inside of me Lord fill it up with you
Cos only you can bring the peace to saturate my soul
And only you can bring the peace that really makes me whole
So it's to you that I'm still lifting up my hands
AndyD I'm still a broken man but here I am

Giving you my everything
I'm laying my whole world down
Giving you my heart and soul
Here I am here I am
Giving you my everything
I'm laying my whole world down
Giving you my heart and soul
Here I am here I am

(Live version only)
Here I am
I'm just a broken man
Longing to understand
What is your master plan
What would you have for me
Lord please help me to see
And I'll do all I can
to find my promised land
Cos here I am

Giving you my everything
I'm laying my whole world down
Giving you my heart and soul
Here I am here I am
Giving you my everything
I'm laying my whole world down
Giving you my heart and soul
Here I am here I am
