Citizen Way's song 'When I'm With You' is a vulnerable prayer about finding peace and authenticity in God's presence. The lyrics express the struggle of hiding pain and pretending everything is fine, but finding comfort in coming to Jesus just as you are. The song emphasizes that God sees every hurt and scar, yet offers only love and grace. It speaks to the freedom of being fully known and accepted, and the safety found in God's presence. The repeated refrain 'I'm not afraid, I'm not ashamed' reinforces the theme of security and renewal in Christ.

Lyrics Verified by Editorial Team

These are the things that I need to pray

'Cause I can't find peace any other way

I'm a mess underneath and I'm just too scared to show it


Everything's not fine

And I'm not okay

But it's nice to know

I can come this way


When I'm with You

I feel the real me finally breaking through

It's all because of You, Jesus

Anytime, anywhere, any heartache

I'm never too much for You to take

There's only love

There's only grace

When I'm with You, yeah

When I'm with You, yeah


Nobody knows me like You do

No need for walls, You see right through

Every hurt, every scar, every secret, You just love me


Oh, when everything's not fine

And I'm not okay

It's nice to know

I can come this way


When I'm with You

I feel the real me finally breaking through

It's all because of You, Jesus

Anytime, anywhere, any heartache

I'm never too much for You to take

There's only love

There's only grace

When I'm with You


I'm breathing in

I'm innocent

It's like my heart's on fire again

I'm not afraid

I'm not ashamed

I'm safe when I am with You


I'm breathing in

I'm innocent

It's like my heart's on fire again

I'm not afraid

I'm not ashamed

I'm safe when I am with You


And so I'm here just as I am

Bruised or broken

I don't have to pretend


When I'm with You

I feel the real me finally breaking through

It's all because of You, Jesus

Anytime, anywhere, any heartache

I'm never too much for You to take

There's only love

There's only grace

When I'm with You, yeah

When I'm with You, yeah


I'm breathing in

I'm innocent

It's like my heart's on fire again

I'm not afraid

I'm not ashamed

I'm safe when I am with You


I'm breathing in

I'm innocent

It's like my heart's on fire again

I'm not afraid

I'm not ashamed

I'm safe when I am with You
