Lyrics

[Intro]
[bright acoustic guitar strumming, honky-tonk piano fills]

[Verse 1]
[baritone male vocals]
When I placed my life, Lord, in your hands
Never thought that I could be free of sin
But you were there, Lord, to lend your precious hands
Here I am, Lord, use me anyway you can

[Chorus]
[three-part vocal harmonies enter, pedal steel guitar swells]
Use me, Lord, for my life is in your hands
Help me, Lord, to be a much better man
Use me, Lord, to tell my blessings since I reached and took your hand
Here I am, Lord, use me anyway you can

[Verse 2]
[acoustic guitar continues, piano accents]
When I placed my life, Lord, in your hands
Never thought, Lord, that I could care again
But you were there, Lord, to help me be a man
Here I am, Lord, use me anyway you can

[Chorus]
[full band with brushes on snare]
Use me, Lord, for my life is in your hands
Help me, Lord, to be a much better man
Use me, Lord, to tell my blessings since I reached and took your hand
Here I am, Lord, use me anyway you can

[Verse 3]
[piano melody mirrors vocal line]
Like I prayed, Lord, you cleansed all my sins
Now I know if I'm for you that I'll win
Yes, I will walk with you, Lord, with you I'll stand
Here I am, Lord, use me anyway you can

[Chorus]
[vocal harmonies peak, pedal steel vibrato]
Use me, Lord, for my life is in your hands
Help me, Lord, to be a much better man
Use me, Lord, to tell my blessings since I reached and took your hand
Here I am, Lord, use me anyway you can

[Outro]
Here I am, Lord, use me anyway you can [final piano flourish]
[acoustic guitar fade]
