I come before you open and exposed While you sit peaceful and reposed Like a newborn babe, I am weak I am helpless, and blindly, I seek To see your face and find your eyes Tend, Oh Lord, to my mewling cries
In your light, my darkness is exposed And all my sins are, at once, disclosed You answer before I can think, much less speak With a love so personal and so unique Lord, you see through all the lies You know me beneath the disguise
And there you are open and exposed A symphony of victory being composed Giving me hope when the future was bleak Lifting up the humble, merciful, and meek There is so much that I don't yet realize Like the groanings of the spirit and the heart's sighs
I fall down: naked and in shame But you clothe me and softly call my name You embrace me and kiss me sweet And, full of tears, our eyes now meet I once was lost, but your love has found Me and brought me back to holy ground You wash away the guilty stains Until no trace of sin remains I am new: born again in your eyes In my foolishness, you are wise Let all creation break forth in joyful hymn For He is found in me, and I am lost in Him
