Lyrics

Verse one

We’ve been running after shadows,
Chasing things that never stay.
Every promise that the world gives
Slowly pulls our hearts away.
But in the quiet of our longing,
Your gentle voice still calls us near.
You remind us who You are
And why we need You here.

Pre-Chorus

Take our wandering hearts,
Lead us back to where You are.

Chorus

I’m on my knees,
Father, hear my plea.
Save me from the things I’ve done,
From who I used to be.
I’m a sinner, I confess,
But Your mercy never ends.
Hold me close and lead me back—
Less of me and more of Him.

Verse two

We get tangled in temptation,
Lose ourselves in what we crave.
But Your grace is always stronger,
You are mighty still to save.
Every burden that we carry,
Every fear we try to hide,
You can break it in a moment
With a whisper of Your light.

Pre-Chorus

Take our wandering hearts,
Lead us back to where You are.

Chorus

I’m on my knees,
Father, hear my plea.
Save me from the things I’ve done,
From who I used to be.
I’m a sinner, I confess,
But Your mercy never ends.
Hold me close and lead me back—
Less of me and more of Him.

Bridge

Take my pride, take my plans,
Every dream not born of You.
Take my fears, take my past—
Make my heart completely new.
Let Your Spirit shape my story,
Let Your goodness be my aim.
Jesus, be my only glory,
Lift my life to praise Your name.

Final Chorus

I’m on my knees,
Father, hear my plea.
Save me from the things I’ve done,
From who I used to be.
I’m a sinner, I confess,
But Your mercy never ends.
Hold me close and lead me back—
Less of me and more of Him.
Less of me and more of Him.
