Afraid With You

(album: Joy In The Morning - 2022)

I can't stop your tears
But I'll lay beside you on the floor
And let mine fall into yours
I can't be your peace
But I'll stay right by you in the storm
I'll fight beside you in the war

I might not have all the words
Might not be able to fix all the hurt
Can't pretend to know what you're going through
Yeah, but

When the weight of the pain is too heavy
When you're lost and you're scared to death
I wanna feel it too
I'll be afraid with you
If your fears got your heart surrounded
I'm right here, you can take my hand
I wanna feel it too
I'll be afraid with you, afraid with you

Yeah-yeah, yeah
Yeah-yeah, yeah
Yeah-yeah, yeah
Yeah-yeah, yeah-yeah

If you let me in
I'll listen to the voices in your head
I'll meet you in the middle of your mess
I might not have all the words
Might not be able to fix all the hurt
Ooh, ooh, ooh
But thinking you're alone is a lie

'Cause when the weight of the pain is too heavy
When you're lost and you're scared to death
I wanna feel it too
I'll be afraid with you
If your fears got your heart surrounded
I'm right here, you can take my hand
I wanna feel it too
I'll be afraid with you, afraid with you

Yeah-yeah, yeah
Yeah-yeah, yeah
Yeah-yeah, yeah
Yeah-yeah, yeah-yeah

Come a little closer, come a little closer
You can let your secrets out
Come a little closer, come a little closer
You can let the walls come down
Come a little closer, come a little closer
You can be yourself right now
You can be yourself right now
Thinking you're alone is a lie

When the weight of the pain is too heavy
When you're lost and you're scared to death
I wanna feel it too
I'll be afraid with you
If your fears got your heart surrounded
I'm right here, you can take my hand
I wanna feel it too
I'll be afraid with you, afraid with you

Yeah-yeah, yeah
Yeah-yeah, yeah
Yeah-yeah, yeah
Yeah-yeah, yeah-yeah
Yeah-yeah, yeah
Yeah-yeah, yeah
Yeah-yeah, yeah
I'll be afraid with you, afraid with you

So here are your takeaways
God has said that if you are going to be like Him
You have to love like Him
You have to love people who don't think like you
Who don't look like you
Who don't vote like you
Who don't dress like you
And you have to take down the tribunal whereby
You try people, before you love them
And begin to understand that love has no loopholes
Don't dress it up in political clothes
Don't dress it up in religious clothes
Don't dress it up in status
Love has no loopholes
When love will make you change your mind
Love will make you go an extra mile
Love will make you apologize even though you thought you was right
Love will make you feed somebody who cussed you out
Love will make you call somebody even though it makes you look like the weaker one
Does anybody understand the words that are coming out of my mouth?
