Here I am
I’m broken before You.
And here I am,
I fell on my knees.

I’m staying here,
Just for awhile.
To talk with You
And here I am.

I know I’m not a lot
But You paid
Your blood for me.
And You were there

Wounded, bleeding,
Mocked unjustly;
For me.
You accepted me

I accept You.

And I know
You consider me worthy
And here I am,
I give myself up.

Before You,
Broken,
Down on my knees.
Here
I
Am

Dear Alyssa,

what a wonderful tribute! there's a hymn called 'Here I am' and I love it so much... and your poem means as much to me

Love

If there cannot be equal in affection, then let the one with more be me - midnightblues™

Thank you each for replying.

Wonderful, and amazing, that He would accept an offering such as you and me, isn't it?

*sings* here I am to worship, here I am to bow down, here I am to say that you're my God.
I love hymn and worship songs, actually I had one poem made into a hymn, was very special

I wrote this with Samuel in mind, when the LORD called to him and he answered "here I am"

(First Samuel 3)
Thanks again,
Always, Alyssa
