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
