Here I stand before you
Afraid to commit, afraid to resist
Afraid of regretting the chances I’ve missed
Here I stand before you
Holding my tongue, hiding my heart
Hoping to finish what I’ve never started
Here I stand before you
What if tomorrow never comes and darkness has its way?
What if sorrow comes and desperation reigns?
I will not be silent anymore.
I will not be silent; that’s not what faith is for
There is no relief in secret belief
I will not be silent anymore.
You have come before me
Forsaking the day and breaking the night
Taking my burden and making it light
You have come before me
Easing my pain, helping me see
Feeding my spirit with fruits of your tree
You have come before me
The veil is tattered leaving sorrow only to be mourned
When tomorrow comes, my soul will be reborn
