There is, there is a simple place
Where I can go and be myself
Where I can see him face to face
And in, and in that simple place
I can go and hide away
And I can be alone with him
I can tell him all my secrets
That I share with almost no one else
I can be open and honest, without fear
Cause he knows the deepest needs that are in my heart
I can be, I can be simple with him
That’s what he wants, that I be real with him
And I, I would have it no other way
Then be myself, be who I really am with him
I can tell him all my secrets
That I share with almost no one else
I can be open and honest, without fear
Cause he knows the deepest needs that are in my heart
Is there anyone that you can be totally open and honest with? Anybody that you can share your deepest thoughts and feelings with, and know that you won’t be judged? I do.
Now, I don’t want to sound like a religious freak here, but I’m going to go out on a limb. This song was written about the quiet times I have alone with God. Being a Christian, I believe in Jesus and that in him I live, move and have my being. That said, it is very important to me to spend quality time with Him. To have relationship. Because ultimately, I believe that is why God created mankind. For relationship. I love how Sarah Young puts it in her book, ‘Jesus Calling’, “He and I are intertwined in an intimacy involving every fibre of my being.” I love this quote.
Truth be told, this isn’t my greatest recording. At times I go flat and it sounds like I’m tired (I did have a baby at the time), but this song was written about these times I have alone with God. He is my safe place. He is where I can unload all of my crap and know I’ll be understood.
So, back to you. I’m interested to know. Is there anyone you can be totally open and honest with? How do you unload your crap? Do you have a secret place where you go to find peace and unload your burdens?
