V1:
I've been waiting for Your voice to come and speak
To come and meet me in my place of deepest need
But it wasn't till the silence overcame
The raging war inside that I could hear You say
Who I am
And who You are
V2:
I've been hiding while my heart is locked away
Hidden shadows in my soul I could not face
But Your kindness rushes through me like a flood
Every part of me awakened to Your love
You're saying...
Chorus:
There's nothing you have to do
I'm surrounding you
Oh, I'm surrounding you
There's nothing you have to prove
I'm surrounding you
Oh, I'm surrounding you
V3:
For all the broken pieces buried deep inside
For every crack and crease that I still try to hide
There is One who says do not be afraid
For I have come to resurrect you from the grave
Chorus
Bridge:
When I think that I can never truly find
The way back to my heart
You reveal to me that I am truly free
To bring You everything
Chorus
V1:
I have been on the mountain
You are there
I have been to the valley
You are there
In the fields of freedom
You are there
In the grave of dry bones
You are there
Chorus:
You're moving in everything
Moving in everything
The God of all things
Your glory's in everything
Glory in everything
The God of all things
V2:
In the depths of my soul
You are there
Help in times of trouble
You are there
In the quiet river
You are there
In the roaring waters
You are there
Chorus
Bridge:
We are made of God
We are children of Your heart
All our wounds and scars
They tether us (together)
Chorus
V1:
You moved into my heart
Tore down the house I was living in
When I don't know where to start
That's when I know You are near again
Pre-chorus 1:
You are near again, oh
You still my heart again, oh
V2:
When doubt and unbelief
Feel closer than my skin
Your love's sustaining me
I breathe it out and breathe it in
Pre-chorus 1
Chorus:
You have never left
And You'll never leave me
There is no separateness
You've made Your home inside of me
V3:
Oh God, Your heart is love
So I don't have to hide
My shame has lost it's hold
And my heart has come alive
Pre-chorus 2:
You are near again, oh
And you dwell within, oh
Chorus
Bridge:
Though I've come this far
I'm just starting to see Your heart
Deeper than any ocean
Wider than I could ever imagine
Chorus
V1:
A broken contrite heart is what I seek
When tired hands grow weary and grow weak
When I cannot hold on to certainty
Spirit come and make a mess of me
Chorus:
Make me like an arrow
Point me towards Your heart
I want to know Your heart
Visit ancient ruins
Build them with Your love
I want to be Your love
V2:
When I cannot receive Your love for me
When everything is standing inbetween
Who I am and who my eyes can see
Jesus come and reawaken me
Chorus
Bridge:
I was a slave when I was holding on
But I let go and now my chains are gone
Now I can see that You have been right here
All along
Chorus
V1:
You bring me back
To just this
You give me peace
In the midst of what is
It's rising up within me
Like the morning light
Awakening to wonder
As You open my eyes
Chorus:
Oh, there's tension in the waiting
Joy in the surrender
You are in it all
Free me to find You in this moment
To settle in Your nearness
To let go of it all
V2:
You give me space
To just breathe
You give me sight
In the unseen
It's welling up within me
Like a rising tide
Water for the thirsty
The river of life
Chorus
Bridge:
I let go
It is for my healing
No more control
I am letting go
Chorus
Tag:
I let go
It is for my healing
No more control
I am letting go
