The stage is bare. The crowds are gone; The love we shared still lingers on. We sang, and played And we laughed, and cried. And in our fumbling way we tried… To say what only hearts can know And now, too soon, we have to go But now, here in this darkened room Just empty seats… there's just me and you. It was easy to call You "Lord" When a thousand voices sang your praise. But there's no one to hear me now. So, hear me now. Be near me now. The stage is bare. The crowds are gone. Lord, now's the time I need you so! To give me joy and certainty When no one else is watching me. I need You more than words can say. Tomorrow's such a daily day And I so need to feel you then; Holding my hand… Please, hold me then. I need You, Lord! Until we give You first place Until we let You begin To fill us with your Spirit Renew us from within Nothing matters Nothing's gained Without your Holy presence Our lives are lived in vain Lord we want to know You Live our lives to show You All the love we owe You We're seekers of your heart Because your heart was broken Because You saw the need Because You gave so freely Because of Calvary We can now be Called your own Completed creations Filled with You alone Lord we want to know You Live our lives to show You All the love we owe You We're seekers of your heart Lord we want to know You Live our lives to show You All the love we owe You We're seekers of your heart
