Analysis of Hiding In Your Love



Sometimes I try and look deeper into what You said
 Sometimes I think all Your visions were only in Your head
 What did You mean when You said to be perfect?
 What did You mean when You said go and sin no more?
 What did You mean knock? I'm knocking, knocking on the door

Sometimes I think that I'm trying but I won't get through
 Sometimes I think You'll say to me your voice I never knew
 And like a child who's in trouble I think I've made You mad
 And like a child who wants to hide I don't know what to do
 My only fear is someday not being close to You

So I'm hiding, hiding in Your love
 And I'm hoping, I'm trusting in Your love
 An ocean so deep and an ocean so wide
 Still you see me, as I pretend to hide

Sometimes I feel like in Your presence I'm the only one
 Sometimes I wonder if You came or if You'll ever come
 And just like Peter who swore he would die for you
 Then turned around and denied to know Your name
 Sometimes I want to hide from my failures and my shame

So I'm hiding, hiding in Your love
 And I'm hoping, I'm trusting in Your love
 An ocean so deep and an ocean so wide
 Still you see me, as I pretend to hide

So,
 Abba, Father, lift me in Your arms
 Abba, Father, lift me in Your arms
 Abba, Father, lift me in Your arms
