You Know Who I Am Lyrics

Lord hear me
I am Open
I surrender all my sin
All my pride
Gets me nowhere
Leaves me stranded empty-handed

So shatter the darkness in my life
As i carry this cross both day and night
All the way (all the way)
All the way (all the way)
To heaven

You know who I am
Lord please take my hand
And lead me into community
You know who I am
Lord help me to stand
Falling in love with your family

I confess
To you Jesus
And to you my brothers and sisters
That I have sinned
And need forgiveness
Pray for me and I for you

So shatter the darkness in my life
As i carry this cross both day and night
All the way (all the way)
All the way (all the way)
To heaven

You know who I am
Lord please take my hand
And lead me into community
You know who I am
Lord help me to stand
Falling in love with your family

All the way (all the way)
All the way (all the way)
To heaven

Hold Us Together

Alive Again

Your Grace Is Enough

The end and the beginning

Empty & Beautiful

Lord hear me
I am Open
I surrender all my sin
All my pride
Gets me nowhere
Leaves me stranded empty-handed

So shatter the darkness in my life
As i carry this cross both day and night
All the way (all the way)
All the way (all the way)
To heaven

You know who I am
Lord please take my hand
And lead me into community
You know who I am
Lord help me to stand
Falling in love with your family

I confess
To you Jesus
And to you my brothers and sisters
That I have sinned
And need forgiveness
Pray for me and I for you

So shatter the darkness in my life
As i carry this cross both day and night
All the way (all the way)
All the way (all the way)
To heaven

You know who I am
Lord please take my hand
And lead me into community
You know who I am
Lord help me to stand
Falling in love with your family

All the way (all the way)
All the way (all the way)
To heaven

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.

I'd love to see him live, but I live in Australia - it was hard enough trying to find his CDs [six months of constant searching!]. But never mind, I found it, and I have to say this album, "The End and the Beginning", is brilliant. And, for me, this song is one of the highlights, one of the most prayerful songs on the CD. I'd feel like I was intruding on Matt Maher's personal prayer if it wasn't so true for me as well. The first line pretty much sums up the entire song, "Lord, hear me, I am open." Pure heart and soul.

What I think about this song is really what I am feeling know in this moment. I feel my cross hard to take on because I am a sinner that I don’t worthty to have God’ love. This darkness that I am passing now make me feel down. But when I hear this song I know that the Lord know how I am that he not giving me a test that I can not carry.

God bless you always Matt Love
