Here I Am
from the Downhere album “Ending Is Beginning”
Germain/Martel

Sometimes your calling, comes in dream
Sometimes it comes in the Spirit's breeze
You reach for the deepest hope in me
And call out for the things of eternity
But I'm a man of dust and stains
You move in me so I can say…

Here I am, Lord send me
All of my life I make an offering
Here I am, Lord send me
Somehow my story is a part of your plan
Here I am


When setbacks and failures and upset plans
Test my faith and leave me with empty hands
Are You not the closest when it's hardest to stand?
I know that You will finish what You began
And these broken parts You redeem
Become the song that I can sing…

Overwhelmed by the thought of my weakness
And the fear that I'll fail You in the end
In this mess, I'm just one of the pieces
I can't put this together but You can

I recently went to see the Christian band Downhere in concert. The music was great! Some of the songs sounded better live than on CD. Downhere is currently on their Ending is Beginning tour. Their tempo has slowed down a little bit in their songs since their first CD, but they have very thought-provoking lyrics. Listening to the songs, you get the idea that a lot of thought and time has been put into the lyrics and music (RockStars Need Money is the exception). Marc Martel is my favorite member of the band. He has a great voice, not to mention range. He is also the guitarist, electric and acoustic. So, here are some of the songs they sang at the concert, but not all of them. One of their newest songs I have grown to love is How Many Kings. Here they are performing it live on radio (below).
