Why is it that you hide from Me
As if I do not see?
Why do you remain silent
When your very thoughts I read?
You want to feel My presence
But you can’t see past the walls
that hardness of heart built over the years
When will they ever fall?
I need you to be transparent
Speak to Me what you feel
If you want to build a relationship
You’re going to have to be real
I’m not looking for fancy speeches
Don’t waste your time trying to impress
I just need you to begin to speak to Me
And allow the Holy Spirit to do the rest
Share with Me your struggles
No matter how shameful they may be
I already know the temptations you face
I’m the One to set you free
You fear the thought of surrender
Afraid I will strip everything from you
Do you really think I will do you harm?
I only want what is best for you
There’s freedom in your surrender
Time to give up the fight
Your heart will never find the rest it needs
Until you and I are right
Be open to Me – and be transparent
No more excuses to not even try
I can see you snuggled behind your “comfortable” walls
So why even try and hide?
