Lyrics
Verse 1
Here I am
At Your feet again
My heart is open wide
Jesus, come inside
All I am
I'll place in Your hands
There's no where I can hide
I don't even wanna try
Chorus
I just wanna say that I trust You, once again
I know You're faithful
God, it's Your loving kindness that leads us to repent
From the thought and ways that separate us
Verse 2
Here I am
Here I am
At Your feet again
My heart is open wide
Jesus, come inside
All I am
I'll place in Your hands
There's no where I can hide
I don't even wanna try
Chorus
I just wanna say that I trust You, once again
'Cause I know You're faithful
God, it's Your loving kindness that leads us to repent
From the thought and ways that separate us
I just wanna say that I trust You, once again
'Cause I know You're faithful
God, it's Your loving kindness that leads us to repent
From the thought and ways that separate us, oh-oh

Meaning & Inspiration
This worship song is a prayer of surrender built around repentance. The verses place the singer at God's feet with an open heart, invite Jesus to come inside, and admit that there is nowhere to hide. The chorus pairs trust with a reference to divine kindness: "God, it's Your loving kindness that leads us to repent." That phrase closely parallels Romans 2:4, where Paul says God's kindness is meant to lead people to repentance.
The bridge moves from confession to a fresh start, repeating the requests "Let's start over, God" and "Come take over, God" along with the declaration "I lay it all down." The repetition keeps attention on release rather than on guilt.
Related ideas appear in Psalm 51:10, a plea for a clean heart, and in 1 John 1:9, which links confession with forgiveness. The song itself quotes none of these passages directly.
