"IT'S TIME"

Why do I feel afraid and start to run
When someone tries to love me
If nothing I have done?

Why do I see love
As something to be deserved?
Why can’t I just open up
And let their love be served?

Do I always have to prove myself
Do I always have to try?
And why do I need to see acceptance
Coming from their eyes?

Is it just too painful
Is there too much hurt to face?
And why all the masks
Why the fast running pace?

Why do I fear to love?
Why do I fear to embrace?
Oh Lord, help me open up
I need your love to fill this place!

It’s Time to receive my healing
It’s Time to be a friend
What’s trying to keep me back this time?
Break the walls and learn to trust again.

So why do I center everything
Around what I feel?
What’s the sense of keeping in
What needs to be revealed?

Why am I afraid to open up
The contents of my heart?
Even when there’s those I can trust
Who have loved me from the start

What am I afraid to face
What am I afraid to see?
Am I afraid to face myself
Or what others see me to be?

Am I afraid to face the anger
And the hurt I hold inside?
Or is it fear of misunderstanding
I may see in their eyes?

And will they stay there with me
Or see me as a case?
I don’t want to be leachy
But I need to be embraced.

Yes, It’s Time to break down these walls
It’s Time for me to see
That there’s ones I can trust
To love me just for me.

It’s Time to receive my healing
It’s Time to let myself be loved
But most of all, It’s Time to open up
To my Father’s love above

It’s Time to let Him love me
And It’s Time for me to see
I was made as His creation
I was created to be free!
