I find my favorite and most honest stuff comes out in the shower at the end of an anxiety-driven, enslaved-to-fear kind of day – when lies and feelings seem to be the easiest things to claim for yourself because that’s what you feel. This is where I’m at – at least partly, I’m getting there, this is a prayer. I’m learning that God’s eyes aren’t like mine – He sees me a certain glorious way that isn’t based on me, but the Gospel. He loves me – and most of the time I can’t find anything loveable in me. I want to be set free from the lie that I’m unworthy of love – and dwell in the truth that I’m loved by the Father, not based on me, but based on Him – and He doesn’t change. Bah… to be at home in love. Hope this ushers you into worship our Lord.

You are, you are my only hope, my only hope (X2)

Can you see my heart beat at the sound of your voice?
Can you see my inability to receive your love? Open me up, open me up
Can you see my heart beat at the sound of your voice?
Can you see my inability to receive your love? Open me up, open me up, for I cannot break myself.

You are, you are my only hope, my only hope (X2)

Can you see my prayer rising towards heaven, going past the ceiling despite my doubts
Can you see my prayer rising towards the heaven, going past the ceiling, despite my feeling- I know You are near.

You are, you are my only hope, my only hope (X2)

I will sing, I will sing of Your greatness – of your faithfulness throughout a thousand generations
I will sing, I will sing of your greatness – of your faithfulness throughout a thousand generations
Of your never-ending patience with my stubborn heart, I will sing, I will sing.
I will sing, I will sing of your compassion – of the gracious inclination of your heart towards me.
I will sing, I will sing of your compassion – of your heart of Justice, of how you cover me. I will sing. I will sing.

You are, you are my only hope, my only hope (X2)
