Hillsong Young & Free's 'Selah' is a worship song that opens with the well-known Bible verse John 3:16, declaring God's love and the gift of His Son. The lyrics then shift to a personal confession, as the singer stands before God honestly, acknowledging past mistakes but finding hope in His perfect love and open arms. The song emphasizes grace, redemption, and the security of being loved by God despite human failings. It's a reflective and intimate piece that encourages listeners to rest in God's unconditional love and mercy.

For God so loved the world, that He gave His only begotten Son
That whosoever believeth in Him should not perish, but have everlasting life
I've always told to say it together
For God so loved the world, that He gave His only begotten Son
That whosoever believeth in Him should not perish, but have everlasting life
Here I stand before You now
As honestly as I know how
Regardless of the things I've done
My hope is found in perfect love
My hope is found in Your open arms
