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-oh-oh-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 me

When I don't like me

But when You formed me

You were happy

So maybe I can finally stop my hiding

Oh, maybe there's no reason to be hiding

Oh-oh, oh, oh

Oh-oh, oh, oh

Done with the hiding

Done with the running

Done with the cleaning myself up before I see You

Before I talk to You

You know me

You love me

Completely

There's nothing to hide

There's nothing to hide
