You Invite Me In

(album: The Invitation - 2008)

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 wide
