"Here I Am"
Here I am, somewhere in-between;
I'm reaching back to You, because
You first reached-out to me
Here I am, somewhere in-between;
I'm reaching back to You, because
You first reached-out to me
I see You standing there, looking
out to me; I can see You now, but
open up my eyes and make them
clearer for You to see
I have failed You, I have been so
torn; I've been taken captive by
my temptations and the pleasures
of this world
But you're standing there with that
thorn in your side; You were rejected
and by men despised, but my
afflictions you won't turn
away from, and because
of leave me to die
So...
Here I am, somewhere in-between;
I'm reaching back to You, because
You first reached-out to me
Here I am, somewhere in-between;
I'm reaching back to You, because
You first reached-out to me
I see You standing there, looking
out to me; I can see You now, but
open up my eyes and make them
clearer for You to see
I'm pressing now, I'm pushing through
to You now; the burden of my weight
is being lifted, and I'm feeling the
strength of Your LIfe
And...
Here I am, somewhere in-between;
I'm reaching back to You, because

This is very powerful Pan! Forgive me if I'm wrong in my interpretations, but I see something beautiful happening! The light pours from your last few scribes my friend. Your further along than in between than what you know.
Again powerful ink!!
Again powerful ink!!

Hey there Southerncharm.
You might be right about me
being further along than I think
myself to be, but maybe I like
Paul choose to not think any
better of myself than I should -
to not give a place to pride -
or, maybe because I have
been here before and fallen
from it I feel unworthy - as
in the stanza where I say,
"It Can't Be").
But I don't say any of this to
at all knock what You have
said of me... You have seen
me through the words I've
written - I usually expose
myself in them - and made
a good judgment.
Thank You again Friend for
reading me in my ups and
downs and bearing with me... Thomas
