You decided long ago

To let me into your deepest soul.

You have given me a private place.

Then somehow you let it fade away.

I know you so welland I can tell

When you've been hiding something from me.

Just let it golet my love flow;

Let it bring you release.



I have come to breathe new life

Into the heart of a child of mine.

I have come to give you peace.

So lift your head and believe.



You were made in a beautiful way;

Born to be holy and sure of your faith.

Something inside you has led you astray.

Now you're locked in a struggle

And it won't go away.

I know you have been down on your knees.

I saw you cryin' for mercy.

Wellhow can I help when you're still holdin' on

To somethin' more precious than me? 



I have come to breathe new life

Into the heart of a child of mine.

I have come to lift you up

To set you freeso believe.



It's all about total surrender

It's all about total surrender

It's all about total surrender

Givin' it up when the goin' gets tough

Givin' it up when the goin' gets rough.

Oh oh ohoh oh ohoh oh ohoh oh ohoh oh oh.



[spoken:]

I have come (I have come)

To breathe new life (breathe new life)

Into the heart of a child of mine (child of mine).



I have come to set you free.

So lift your head and believe.

I have come to breathe new life

Into the heart of a child of mine.

I have come to set you free.

So lift your head and believe.

I have come(I) I have come(I) I have come(I) I have come.
