Step Outside

Whatever you do, don’t hide

If you’re hurting, scared, struggling

Don’t hide

If you’re awkward, you stutter, you have trouble shutting up… if you’re anything like me and happen to be all 3, still don’t hide

If you’ve lost yourself, or crossed yourself, made catastrophic mistakes, and can’t forgive yourself, don’t hide

That feeling of shame says your heart knows better

You crave more for life. You’re just not where you want to be YET

But even flowers that survive in the dark need love to grow

I’m telling you because I know

That pit of self-pity is just privacy for indulgence

You hate the thing you're hiding

The more it lingers, the more it shows

Isolation is a silent killer and gets you nice and slow

No one is left in your life, you haven’t left the house, yet it’s

GO GO GO GO

Your thoughts change fast like Amtrak.

The world follows pace, you haven’t gone anywhere

Stop hiding in fear

You get left behind

Don’t let it be another reason

Even if you’re alone, step outside

Where The Father sent the Son to shine on YOU

Stay for a while

Give yourself a season to be

To experience God’s glory

He works through people; you can feel Him through art

Like the sound of the wind when it brushes on your skin... Close your eyes and listen

And the blues in the sky ahhh …Have you seen them meet the ocean?

Like when the sick and cynical transform into vessels of life

How songs of a stranger’s soul can feel like it’s telling your story

How all things have rhythm, what that does to our hearts

Whatever you do, don’t hide

You don’t want to miss this

It's right outside waiting for you to embrace it all
