🎵 TRACK 3 — YOU SAW THE REAL ME Album: Where Heaven Meets My Heart Style: Cinematic Testimonial Rock · Female-Led Christian Worship · Intimate Piano-Led Soft Rock **[Verse 1]** I learned to smile when I was hurting, Learned to say that I was fine, Kept the broken pieces hidden, Kept the questions locked inside. I thought love would leave me standing If the truth came into view, So I showed the world my strength And hid the parts that needed You. **[Pre-Chorus]** But You looked beyond the surface, Past the things I tried to hide, You could see the heart beneath it, And You never stepped aside. **[Chorus]** You saw the real me, Every wound and every scar, Every fear I kept buried, Every place I fell apart. You knew all the things I couldn't Find the courage to believe, And You never loved me less, Lord, You saw the real me. **[Verse 2]** You knew every silent question, Every night I fought my tears, Every time I doubted goodness, Every echo of my fears. You were never fooled by appearances, Never needed me to pretend, You were there before my beginning, And You'll be there until the end. **[Pre-Chorus]** I don't have to earn Your mercy, I don't have to hide my pain, You have seen my deepest sorrow, And Your love has still remained. **[Chorus]** You saw the real me, Every wound and every scar, Every fear I kept buried, Every place I fell apart. You knew all the things I couldn't Find the courage to believe, And You never loved me less, Lord, You saw the real me. **[Bridge]** So I'll lay my heart before You, I will bring You all I am, Not the woman I pretended, Not the one who understands. Just a soul that needs Your mercy, Just a heart that's learning grace, Finding freedom in the knowledge That I'm loved here in this place. **[Final Chorus]** You saw the real me, And You didn't turn away, You were there beneath the sorrow, You were faithful through the days. I don't have to hide my weakness, I don't have to make You see, You have always known my heart, Lord, You saw the real me. You saw the real me, And Your love has brought me through, Now the walls are falling softly, And I'm learning to be true. There is nothing left to prove now, There is nothing left to flee, Jesus, thank You for the mercy That has always welcomed me. **[Outro — Soft, Intimate Female Vocal]** You knew my heart, You knew my pain, You loved me then, You love me still. No more hiding, No more pretending, Here I am, Lord. And You still love me.
