Naming the Failure

[Verse 1] In the courtyard By the fire “I don’t know Him” A little higher Not just once But two Then three Every echo Cutting deep in me [Chorus] I don’t have to hide my failures I don’t have to blur the lines You are not afraid of darkness You were there for all three times Every lie and every fracture Every tear I tried to fight What I finally bring in honest You are waiting in the light [Verse 2] Rooster crowed And my heart broke All my courage Turned to smoke Bitter tears On a dusty floor But that was not The final word [Chorus] I don’t have to hide my failures I don’t have to blur the lines You are not afraid of darkness You were there for all three times Every lie and every fracture Every tear I tried to fight What I finally bring in honest You are waiting in the light [Bridge] Grace is not me shrinking down Saying “it was nothing much” (oh no) Grace is standing Hands wide open Telling You the truth of what I’ve done What I keep in shadows owns me What I name You start to heal When I stop defending Start confessing That’s where Your mercy becomes real [Chorus] I don’t have to hide my failures I don’t have to blur the lines You are not afraid of darkness You were there for all three times Every wound I keep on covering You invite into Your sight When I finally speak it plainly You restore me in the light
