Here I Go Again

“'Here I Go Again' is a prayer we all pray as we’re walking up to the friend we’ve always known who we needed to share our faith with, and then we choke. We know the answers, we have the training and the education far beyond our obedience, and the time comes to share our lives with somebody, and fear takes the words out of our mouths. It’s my frustration from my own cowardice at times.”

Father, hear my prayer
I need the perfect words
Words that he will hear
And know they're straight from you
I don't know what to say
I only know it hurts
To see my only friend slowly fade away

So maybe this time
I'll speak the words of life with your fire in my eyes
But that old familiar fear is tearin' at my words
What am I so afraid of?
'Cause here I go again

Talkin' 'bout the rain and mullin' over things
That won't live past today and as I dance around the truth
Time is not his friend
This might be my last chance to tell him that you love him

But here I go again
Here I go again

Lord, You love him so
You gave your only son
If he will just believe
He will never die
But how then will he know
What he has never heard?
Lord, he has never seen mirrored in my life

So maybe this time
I'll speak the words of life with your fire in my eyes
But that old familiar fear is tearin' at my words
What am I so afraid of?
'Cause here I go again

Talkin' 'bout the rain and mullin' over things
That won't live past today and as I dance around the truth
Time is not his friend
This might be my last chance to tell him that you love him

But here I go again
Here I go again

So maybe this time
I'll speak the words of life with your fire in my eyes
But that old familiar fear is tearin' at my words
What am I so afraid of?
'Cause here I go again

Talkin' 'bout the rain and mullin' over things
That won't live past today and as I dance around the truth
Time is not his friend
This might be my last chance to tell him that you love him
This might be my last chance to tell him that you love him
This might be my last chance to tell him that you love him

You love him, you love him
What am I so afraid
What am I so afraid
What am I so afraid of?
How then will he know
What he has never heard?
