	Story Behind the Song The first verse of this song is about not being able to find perfect grace, hope and faith in this world. Each is represented by three ficticious women whom, we understand, have been in an unsuccessful relationship with the writer. (I've actually never dated anyone by any of those names, but you get the point). It tells of the fact that they each didn't live up to their names. Because of that, the writer had problems trusting true grace, hope and faith. The pre-chorus of the song is a personal pep talk to "break through" the self-constructed barriers in his life. He tries to assert the fact that he will no longer listen to where the world is telling him he 'should' go. The second verse of this song talks about the state of life, state of mind, and the state of the writer's future. I'm sure you'll pick up on similar applications as the first verse. The chorus of the song talks about Jesus of Nazareth. It is directly related to a vision the writer had of Jesus on one knee in an pose of acceptance. It talks about him being more beautiful than the women he had tried so hard to fill his need for perfect grace, hope and faith. And then speaks of Jesus Christ's promise to meet those needs. The bridge: I hope this is self-explanatory. It's about the choice to follow Jesus. This music for this song took 1 year to perfect. The lyrics came completely seperately from the song. The lyrics only took 30 minutes to write. Lyrics Here I go By Chris Kalgren Verse 1: Grace let me down hard, and me and Hope couldn’t get far And Faith, she was unfaithful Failure after failure, I lost grace, I lost hope And couldn’t place my faith in you Verse 2: Life is gettin’ harder, should be gettin’ smarter But I feel more blind than ever Moment after moment, I lose life, I lose thought And sight of what is true Pre-Chorus: Let’s break through some these walls and Start to bust up this routine I’m tired a bein’ told where to go by People more blind than me Chorus: But I remember when you came shining through More beautiful than any woman I’d ever seen And you promised to always be true Be my best friend and forever stand by me Bridge: Dang my heart just left its hole It followed You and brought my soul And You said, “Here I am!” And I said, “Here I go!”
