Song re-write....Your opinion appreciated to finish...

I began a re-write of a song I recorded back in the day....way, way, back in the old time of about 2007-08. No, I'm not trying to live in the past, haha, it is more so something I randomly thought about and I began writing as the idea flowed.  Once I was finished the re-write (well almost done...need your opinion below), the song had changed keys, changed some melodies, and the lyrics are almost completely different. I personally enjoy the new version and I think you will too.
If you remember the song "Alive" from the "Matter of Time" cd, you may be surprised (and I don't know, maybe you won't be) at how much it has changed; it could almost be an entirely seperate song in itself.  Any who, it is about 92.932111% finished. The only part I'm wrestling with is the lyrics in the 2nd verse, line 2, in bold below.  This is where you're help is needed to finish this rewrite!  so I can record it and give you the free mp3 download.  

First choice for you to make...do you like the start of verse 2, line 2 as option 1) Here before you I stand or option 2) I'm uncovered, laid bare.  

Secondly, do you like the end of the line as.... 1) offering every piece of me, 2) offering everything I am, 3) everything I have


Please send your responses/opinions in below. Once we make a final decision I'll get it recorded in the next week...2 at the latest and like I said, send it out to you.  

Thanks for your amazing  

Alive (Only You That I'm After)

Verse 1:
You’re the First and the Last
You were, are, forever  
How could I not abide
in the One who gives me life

Chorus:
In Your eyes, I'm alive
I'm all Yours now and forever
I surrender my heart
It’s only You that I’m after  

Verse 2:
Theres nothing, that could part, the bonding of our hearts
Here before you I stand, offering every......(piece of me) or (thing I am) or (thing I have)
or (line below)
I'm uncovered, laid bare, offering  every piece  of me


Bridge:

It’s only in Your eyes, that I found true life
Oh, You’re all that I’m after
Its always been You, and it will always remain You
Oh, You’re all that I’m after
