To be known from the inside out
What's under the hood, the bad or the good
To be known
To be found in my hiding place
And be received, I'm so relieved
To be found
There's no shame
I'm not the same when You look at me
I'm just now finding out what it really means
It's like I'm barefoot running through a golden field
Like a child that's how You make me feel
Oh, Lord
When You look at me
It's like I'm 12 feet tall without a care
Your forgiveness feels like floating on air
Oh, Lord
When You look at me
To be loved like I've never loved
So complete, You want me
To be loved
There's no shame, not the same, oh, God
When You look at me
I come alive inside, oh, God
When You look at me
You heal my heart, every scar, oh, God
When You look at me
No scars
When You look at me
No shame
When You look at me
I am loved
When You look at me
It's like the weight of the world falls off of me
And I can just be who You made me to be
Oh, Lord
When You look at me
When You look at me
