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
Look at me as I look at you
Trust in me for what I call you to do
There’s a still small voice in my heart
It calls for me to never depart
To hold on tight to his love
He says to me coming down from above
Look at me as I look at you
Trust in me for what I call you to do
My life finds meaning, a reason to live
A grace to love, he does give
Humble and meek I want to be
In all things he calls out to me
Look at me as I look at you
Trust in me for what I call you to do
March 2025 – Parish Encounter Retreat: third day early morning adoration
Your mercy Lord
O your mercy Lord
I cry out to you
For your mercy Lord
My cries echo throughout my soul
On the edge or the ridge
Screaming out your name
Why don’t I hear your voice
Your mercy Lord
O your mercy Lord
I cry out to you
For your mercy Lord
Where I’ve been invades my mind
The hurt inside that dwells
The marks that prove the pain
Where were you then
Your mercy Lord
O your mercy Lord
I cry out to you
For your mercy Lord
Breathe your words into me again
Rushing like the wind
Hold me in tight embrace
Show me you’re here
Your mercy Lord
O your mercy Lord
I cry out to you
For your mercy Lord
I love your mercy
I love your mercy
I love your mercy
Healing me inside
Hold me in your mercy Lord

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
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
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
