Show Up Lyrics

You hurt when we hurt

You cry when we cry

No, Your love's not the distant kind

You take all the pain

From the sting of this life

Forever, You're by my side

You're more than a Lord

You're a King who's a Friend

And that's who You've always been, oh but

I thought that I had to pray to reach out

Helpless in defeat until You come down

I'm so glad I was wrong

Though we're running in circles

And life is uncertain

The one thing I'm sure of

Is Your heart never changes for us

Now I can't even fathom

How my faith got so backwards

Thinking You were too far out of touch

Cuz the more that I know You

The more that I see through

Who You are in my mind, to real life

Where the truth is You're not

The kind of God

That I have to beg

To show up

Still often I wonder whether I'll make it through

Oh, cuz there's nothing I can do

Though I feel so alone, I know You're here in the room

Is that how it feels trusting You?

Yeah

Cuz You don't have to run when I call

You're already here through it all

I've been oblivious all along

Oh, cuz I was busy praying with my head down

Never took the time to take a look 'round

I was too caught up thinking

I thought that I had to pray to reach out

Helpless in defeat until You come down

You keep proving me wrong

Though we're running in circles

And life is uncertain

The one thing I'm sure of

Is Your heart never changes for us

Now I can't even fathom

How my faith got so backwards

Thinking You were too far out of touch

Cuz the more that I know You

The more that I see through

Who You are in my mind, to real life

Where the truth is You're not

The kind of God

That I have to beg

To show up

(Cuz the more that I know You

The more that I see through

Who You are in my mind, to real life)

You hurt when we hurt

You cry when we cry

No, Your love's not the distant kind
