Take Me to the Place
4HIM · Face the Nation [1991]
When You made my life complete
Everything was pure and simple Then
It was only You and me
I remember times together
When the fellowship was sweet
But it seems at times so far away
It's become a memory
I got to have You close to me
I wanna hear You call my name
Make it like it used to be
Lord I'm asking You today
CHORUS
To take me to the place
The place where I first met You
When the presence of Your love
Was so brand new
So take me to the place
The place where You first held Me
Oh when the treasure of my
Heart's desire was You
After all the years have vanished
And my life begins to fade
Lord I pray that You will shelter Me
In the warmth of Your embrace
For I long to keep the vision
Of my childhood memories
So that I will have a tender heart
Even when I'm old and grey
So never go away from me
This will always be my prayer
Forevermore that I will be
In the shadow of Your care
Take Me to the Place
Released in 1991 on the album Face the Nation, "Take Me to the Place" stands as a defining track in the discography of the English Christian rock band 4HIM. The song exemplifies the group's signature blend of melodic rock and worship-oriented songwriting, characterized by soaring vocals and anthemic choruses that have become staples in their live performances. As a central piece on their debut album, it helped establish the band's reputation for creating accessible yet spiritually resonant music that bridged the gap between contemporary rock and traditional hymnody. The recording remains a significant part of their early catalog, reflecting the earnest and uplifting tone that defined their work during the early 1990s.
