As I lay my life down at your feet
You whisper words to me oh so sweet
As I lay awake at night wondering what I did today
I need to quiet down to hear you say I love you
My eyes are shut but may my vision be fixed on you

I look around and I see all your creation
Staring, shouting, there is a God who cares for this lost generation
As lay awake looking into your eyes
Help me remember you paid the price for all my lies
Tired but I find my rest in you,

The days seem to get longer, harder
But as I look to you to entice me, they become easier
I know I am not perfect, but please help me learn from my mistakes
Mishaps happen, but You are there to rescue me when I am sick and crying
Please take my mangled life, bent and dying and replace it with a heart like yours

Pain for the lost who have never heard
A heart for the ill
For You watch them still
A mindset of suffering
Trusting you to bring me through

I lay my life down at the threshing ground
For you to scrape away all the impurities this broken heart has
Please refine me with your blood, rushing all around me with your flood
There is no place that I find more meaning, then meeting with my creator
This is where I find true healing, looking into your eyes I can see you smiling

Open up my ears to hear your whisper
It may come in a flame or a wind, but help tune my ears
As I block out every other fear
I have nothing on my own,
But as I look back at missed opportunities I’ve blown
Bring me back to the cross, where true love was shown for me

Pre Chorus: I have come to the end of my rope
I keep on trying to grab false hope and I keep on falling
When I come to the end of the rope
Then I know there will be someone to hold me

Chorus: Reaching up and grasping nothing but the air around me
I have come to the end of the rope because I need something strong
The end of the rope is a scary place to be because I am falling
But the end of myself is where I want to be so you can hold me

Verse 1: The end of my rope is where I learn to trust
No matter what I try to grab hold of I wind up on my knees
Before I can understand what it means to be caught I must come to the end of my rope
and let go of all the things I love

Verse 2: As the rope that I am holding onto comes unraveled
And as the ground approaches faster and faster I realize I am falling
I am letting go and waiting for your arms to catch me I know that if
I grab a hold of you, I will be safe and secure
