“The Kingdom of Heaven has come near”,
So why do I still feel the fear?
I can’t rhyme it, or time it,
Can’t explain it away,
But at the end of the day
It all comes down to trust,
And I must
Listen only to You,
Only Your words are true.
I have lived with a lie
Saying that I
Am not good enough;
I will always let people down,
That in the end,
I won’t be the friend
That everyone is glad to have around.
A lie I have learned
That twists as it turns,
It leaves me wiped out
And fills me with doubt.
I think I do know
Where such lies come from, so
Why do they still grip me tight,
And force me to fight
For each inch of my soul?
I long to be whole.
And I thought we’d begun,
That the battle was won,
Jesus, You are my Lord,
I believe in Your word,
Show me what You see,
How I am meant to be.
Don’t let me live with this label
At the foot of the table,
When You have created me
Beautiful and free.
I’m your precious child,
With a heart running wild,
You have given me gifts
That are meant to lift,
Encourage, embellish,
A real life to relish.
So rip off these chains
Of the fear that remains,
The bonds now broken
Of those hard words once spoken,
Which condemned me
And left me
Uncertain and low.
The real me
Is ready to go.
