Fears and longings

Too afraid to be real

Lest I fall apart

Too afraid to be real

Incase I’m wrong

Too afraid to be real

Lest I be rejected

Teach me to listen

To the truth

Teach me to hear again

Your voice within

Speak to me

Draw me in to your heart

I want to taste your goodness

I want to see your glory

I need to find

That place where I belong

Where everything belongs

I need to experience it for myself

Anew

Not just a distant memory

I need to see

How everything is held

Safe within your hands

Awake my soul to sing a new song

I have been so closed

So afraid

Lord, open my eyes,

Open my heart

To see, to know

Your goodness

No longer listening to the voices of

Regret, pain, past hurts, hopelessness

But listening to your voice

Your voice of truth, love, hope

O Lord, let me enter your rest

Find my peace in you once again

Allowing you to work in my life,

In my heart Lord I surrender to you

I trust in you

With all that I am
