Chris Renzema's "Springtime" is a raw, honest prayer about shedding pretense and returning to genuine faith. The song captures the struggle of admitting that one has been lying to oneself and to God, and the fear of being numb to spiritual passion. It pleads for God to tear down personal idols, make the heart holy ground, and reignite a burning fire within. The lyrics express a desire for transformation and a renewed focus on God alone, acknowledging that all hope rests in Him. It's a vulnerable cry for authenticity and spiritual revival.
Lyrics Verified by Editorial Team
I've been lying to myself, and I've been lying to you
After all these years, it's hard to be true
And often I stay up and wonder does it matter to you
If the words I believe, are the words I choose
So don't let me, live my life with this bandage on
Don't let me, let the fear of what I'm not, make my heart numb
And don't let me sing another song, without feeling fire in my lungs
I've been lying to myself, and I've been lying to you
After all these years, it's hard to be true
And often I've stayed up and wondered could I come back new
Forget these words I've believed that lead me far from you
So don't let me, live my life with this bandage on
Don't let me, let the fear of what I'm not, make my heart numb
And don't let me sing another song, without feeling fire in my lungs
So would you tear my idols down,
Make my heart your holy ground,
Come light your fire in me
Keep my eyes upon your thrown
Cus' all my hopes in you alone
Come light your fire in me
So don't let me, live my life with this bandage on...
