spoken word.

If the truth sets us free
then why do we hide it?

We put on that mask, run from our past,
 try to disguise it.

We can't let them see
what's really going on.
'cause if they see us for who we really are,
then before long, sure enough, they'll be gone.

At least, that's the lie Satan wants us to believe
& he's had us trapped here in this prison for too long.
Enough is enough, it's time that we leave.
Time to move on.

Time to be free.
Time to speak truth.
& allow God to remind us
of how much we're really worth.

When we come into the light,
exposed for all to see
God illuminates us, lifts us up
& blesses our humility.

You see where there's truth
that's also where peace lies
that's where you find the real you
that's where you claim your life, back.

Back to that place
of grace and forgiveness
can't hold back anymore,
I'm drawn to my knees in repentance.

"Father forgive me,
for I have sinned.
Come and wash me white as snow.
Come make me whole again."

and then He runs to us
while we're still on our way
His heart is filled with compassion and joy
His beloved child has returned today.

For so long He's yearned for us
that we'd just come home
Jealously, a fire has burned for us
& it's been there all along.

He won't let us go
& He'll never give up
because He knows how much we need Him
That He's the only one able to completely fill our cup

But He won't stop there
No, He'll continue til it runeth over
because He also wants to use us
to bless his other children

That's the beauty of it all,
& now it's come full circle.

You see, we started as slaves
trapped in the bondage.
Now not only are we free
but we're freeing the hostage.

What satan meant for harm,
God used it for good.
He saw us, had mercy, & restored us
because He could.

That's the very reason He sent His only son to die
to be crucified on a tree
to pay the price for my sins
& pave the way for me.

I see it now,
it's all been made clear.
Remove the blinders
Redemption is here.

Now I live to worship
the one true King
who saved me, rearranged me
& gave me a new song to sing.

On Him and Him alone
will I meditate day and night
How beautiful and incredible it is to be reminded
that I am precious in His sight.
