Here I am, in the midst of You
Wounded soul, longing to be healed
Seeking joy, I fall at your feet
Within my heart, a yearning so strong
Hold me close, help me to stay near
I lay down my love, Take all of me in
Here I am
Wounded soul
Seeking joy
Within my heart
Hold me close
I lay down my love
In the midst of You
Longing to be healed
I fall at your feet
A yearning so strong
Help me to stay near
Take all of me in
Written September 2023
You are forgiven my child
You are forgiven my child
I have loved you through it all
You are forgiven my child
Though the enemy pursues
He will not take you from me
Hold on tight through the storm
And I will protect you
I am all you need
I am all you need
Lean on me
And I will hold you close
My child

March 2025 – Parish Encounter Retreat: second day early morning adoration
Crumbling down before you
Needing your loving embrace
Hold me close in all things
The pieces are all over scattered
Brokenness fills me to the brim
Lead me to wholeness in you
Inward I fold away alone
Grasping out for true freedom
Fill me with your joyful presence
March 2025 – Parish Encounter Retreat: first night

Seeking Joy
Within my heart
Hold me close
I lay down my love
In the midst of you
Longing to be healed

A yearning so strong
Help me to stay near
Take all of me in
Here I am, in the midst of you
Wounded soul, longing to be healed
Seeking joy, I fall at your feet
Within my heart, a yearning so strong
Hold me close, help me to stay near
