fully known

And so we know and rely on the love God has for us. God is love. Whoever lives in love lives in God, and God in them. This is how love is made complete among us so that we will have confidence on the day of judgment: In this world we are like Jesus.

- 1 John 4:16-17

 

Hey, you! Yeah, you! Stop hiding.

So many of us have built walls around ourselves, because we are afraid to let anyone see who we really are.

Guess who does know the real you?

Yeah, God does . . .  song reference!!

It's so unusual it's frightening

You see right through the mess inside me

And you call me out to pull me in

You tell me I can start again

And I don't need to keep on hiding

I'm fully known and loved by You

You won't let go no matter what I do

And it's not one or the other

It's hard truth and ridiculous grace

To be known fully known and loved by You

I'm fully known and loved by You

It's so like You to keep pursuing

It's so like me to go astray, ooh

But You guard my heart with Your truth

The kind of love that's bullet proof

And I surrender to Your kindness, oh

I'm fully known and loved by You

You won't let go no matter what I do

And it's not one or the other

It's hard truth and ridiculous grace

To be known fully known and loved by You

I'm fully known and loved by You

How real, how wide

How rich, how high is Your heart

I cannot find the reasons why

You give me so much

How real, how wide

How rich, how high is Your heart

Now, I cannot find the reasons why

You give me so much

None of us are perfect, nor do we need to be perfect.

We don’t have to build walls or put up false fronts, because the Father knows us fully.

And He still loves us.
