you invite me in

The Invitation

by:beryl

I ve been searching

Wandering and hurting

Ashamed of the shape I m in

Afraid You ll see who I really am

But, You invite me in

Doesn t matter where I ve been

Your arms are open wide

There s nothing left to hide

How can this be?

A love so unfailing

Reached down and lifted me

From ashes to beauty

And You invite me in

Doesn t matter where I ve been

Your arms are open wide

There s nothing left to hide

For You invite me in

Doesn t matter who I ve been

Your arms are open wide

Pulling me to Your side

And now I m walking away

From the life I once knew

And running into Your grace

That covers my shame

Again and again, I find my life in You

You invite us in

Doesn t matter where we ve been

Your arms are open wide

There s nothing left to hide

You invite us in

Doesn t matter who we ve been

Your arms are open wide

Pulling us to Your side

Your arms are open wid
