Lyrics

In Your Name

I was baptized long ago, but somehow I've gotten off course
I forgotten what it feels like to be free
Holding on the same old beliefs, causing nothing else but heartache.
Would you take, would you take these burdens from me?

Lead me down to the water, bring me back to the fire.
Let me feel the flame, let it wash away the pain,
let everything but joy be swept away...
Help me live in your name.

Blindsighted by the facts, missing all the little miracles
hollowed, humbled, and hungry for release.
In the everday ordinary, I stumble along this path,
would you take this nothingness from me please?

Lead me down to the water, bring me back to the fire.
Let me feel the flame, let it wash away the pain,
Let everything but joy be swept away...
Help me live in your name.

I'll hold on a little longer, hoping you will make me stronger,
hoping for a sure sign that I'm part of your design.
I need a little more proof. I need the undisputed truth.
Take me back to a simpler time and let me be redefined.

Lead me down to the water, bring me back to the fire
Let me feel the flame, let it wash away the pain,
let everything but joy be swept away...
Help me live in your name
