[Verse 1]
There's a river that's swollen with rain
You wouldn't guess that I've known so much pain
I've got a heart swollen with pride
You wouldn't guess what I hold inside

[Verse 2]
Oh, it feels so good to have you around
I feel the walls come tumbling down
I'm ready to change, ready to feel
To be revealed

[Chorus]
Take my life in your hands
Take my love, be my man
I'm tired of all the lonely nights
I need someone to hold me in the candlelight
Take my life, I wanna live
I have so much more I want to give
I need a love that cuts like a knife
Take my life

[Verse 3]
There's a river that's running wild
Could I take you back when I was a child?
I want to see just who I am
To be revealed
[Chorus]
Take my life in your hands
Take my love, be my man
I'm tired of all the lonely nights
I need someone to hold me in the candlelight
Take my life, I wanna live
I have so much more I want to give
I need a love that cuts like a knife
Take my life

[Bridge]
Take my hand and lead me
With your love, you can free me
Oh, take the chains away from my heart
Take my life

[Chorus]
Take my life in your hands
Take my love, be my man
I'm tired of all the lonely nights
I need someone to hold me in the candlelight
Take my life, I wanna live
I have so much more I want to give
I need a love that cuts like a knife
Take my life
[Outro]
I need a love that cuts like a knife
Take my life
