I’m afraid to let you in/anyone for that matter/to see the real me/I really want to share my heart/but this world has let me down before/
I know that my hurts and my pains/never to be left alone/I have been thinking lately/what would it look like/to live in the freedom that Christ offers/
I would need to open up/I know that my Lord cares/about what I am going through/it is hard for me to realize/someone who genuinely cares for me/
I know that my heart is valuable/but it’s hard for me to be vulnerable/because the world is full of hurt as well/I find it difficult to understand/
which stories I can share/I am trying to learn/Lord teach me to discern/
If I let you in/things will get better/if I am crying/I want to come to you/Jesus You will never fail/as I look at the cross/I can’t help but see the nails/
I know that you will bring me through/You will be by my side/and you will never forsake me/I sometimes get scared that no one will listen/
but I don’t have to worry about that with you/My perception of You Lord/is so many times shaped by the world/It’s hard for me/
but that doesn’t mean it’s not good for me/I want to be more open/teach me what that looks like/Thank you Lord for being my savior/thank you for being my rock/
the firm foundation on which my life is laid/
Take away the fear/replace it with your peace/take away the uncertainty/give me the assurance that you’ve got me/It’s hard for me to trust/because in this broken world/
people sometimes go behind our backs/they don’t know that there is so much more/that they are loved deeply/It’s difficult for me to see others hurting/
seeing how lonely they are/then I remember that was me/before I became your child/I want others to know that there is a God who loves them/
I feel guilty and then I remember/I am washed by your blood/there is no condemnation for those in Christ/I traded my sin for grace and mercy/
Let you in/and my life will be different/I will not be intimidated anymore by the world/I can cast my cares on you/and will give me your peace/
I don’t understand it all yet/If it were easy to trust/I think a lot more people would/There are so many people hurting/it’s overwhelming if you think there is no hope/
we have something more to live for/It’s encouraging knowing that in the end/you will make it right/the sin that has hindered for so long/
Jesus has conquered when He rose from the grave/it has no power over us/we don’t need to hold onto the past/for You know my future/I want to look forward/
because looking back is hard/
