Lyrics
“Whenever you pray about a certain topic…
do particular emotions or failings come to mind?”
“If so, the Holy Spirit may be bringing them to the surface…
so you’ll deal with them.”
I’ve been hiding in the silence
Keeping shadows underground
But every prayer keeps pulling
What I never wanted found
Every memory returning
Like a light beneath the door
You keep calling me to freedom
To the places I ignore
And I hear You in the breaking
Every tear, every scar
You are healing what was buried
Meeting me inside the dark
Deal with it
Bring it into the light
Every hidden fear inside
You are teaching me to fight
Deal with it
Even when it hurts to see
You are pulling out the chains
Setting every captive free
You lead me into truth
Into truth
“For example, if you try to pray for a person,
but begin tearing the individual apart in your mind instead…”
“It’s likely the Father is revealing your envy or unforgiveness.”
“Take your feelings of anger or jealousy to the Lord.”
Maybe every restless feeling
Isn’t something meant to hide
Maybe Heaven’s showing secrets
I kept buried deep inside
Every wound from years behind me
Every moment left undone
You remind me where You found me
And the work You’ve still begun
You’re not condemning
You are revealing
The hidden places needing healing
You’re not accusing
You are restoring
Opening every locked-up story
Deal with it
Bring it into the light
Every hidden fear inside
You are teaching me to fight
You are teaching me to fight
Deal with it
Even when the memories rise
You are standing in the fire
With redemption in Your eyes
“It may even be that as you’re praying about a challenge,
the Father repeatedly reminds you of an incident from your childhood.”
“It’s not a mistake—He is revealing truth to you.”
“Don’t ignore it; rather, ask Him what it means.”
“The Lord desires to heal you to the core of your being…”
“Even in the places you’ve forgotten exist…”
So listen to Him
And deal with whatever He surfaces
Confident He is leading you to freedom
Lord, I repent of these hidden sins
Thank You for surfacing these issues
And liberating me of them, amen
“When He, the Spirit of truth, comes…”
“He will guide you into all truth.”
John 16:13
