Hiding

I build up my defenses, Your goodness wears them down

I practice my excuses, but You know Your way around

I've tried to run from mercy to find a hidden place

But You're on me like a shadow, so I can't get away

It always scares me that You know me

Could You love me when I don't like me?

But if You formed me and You were happy

Oh, then maybe I could finally stop my hiding

I cried out in desperation for You to show Your face

With a whisper You assured me You never look away

So my fear of disconnection is overcome by grace

What You have brought together my shame can't separate

It always scares me that You know me

Could You love me when I don't like me?

But if You formed me and You were happy

Oh, then maybe I could finally stop my hiding

Oh

You see me

You really see me, and You love me

What a mystery

You know me

You know the real me, and You want me

What a mercy

You see me

You really see me, and You love me

What a mystery

You know me

You know the real me, and You still want me

What a mercy

It used to scare me that You know me

And that You love when I don't like me

But when You formed me and You were happy

So maybe I could finally stop my hiding

Oh, maybe there's no reason to be hiding

Oh

Oh

Done with the hiding

Done with the running

Done with the cleaning myself up before I see You

'Fore I talk to You

You know me

You love me completely

There's nothing to hide

There's nothing to hide
