Be Born In Me
Hope Darst's song "Be Born in Me" is a reflective worship piece that draws on the Christmas narrative, specifically Mary's response to the angel's announcement. The lyrics express a sense of awe, fear, and willingness to surrender to God's plan, even when it feels overwhelming. The central metaphor is inviting Christ to be born in the believer's heart, making it a place of welcome and surrender. The song emphasizes trust in God's faithfulness from beginning to end, and the humble offering of oneself to His purposes.
Everything inside me cries for order
Everything inside me wants to hide
Is this shadow an angel or a warrior?
If God is pleased with me, why am I so terrified?
Someone tell me I am only dreaming
Somehow help me see with Heaven's eyes
And before my head agrees, my heart is on its knees
Holy is He, blessed am I
Be born in me
Be born in me
Trembling heart, somehow I believe
That You chose me
I'll hold you in the beginning
You will hold me in the end
Every moment in the middle
Make my heart your Bethlehem
Be born in me
All this time we've waited for the promise
All this time You've waited for my arms
Did You wrap yourself inside the unexpected
So we might know that Love would go that far?
Be born in me
Be born in me
Trembling heart, somehow I believe
That You chose me
I'll hold you in the beginning
You will hold me in the end
Every moment in the middle
Make my heart your Bethlehem
Be born in me
I am not brave
I'll never be
The only thing my heart can offer is a vacancy
I'm just a girl
And nothing more
But God, I'm willing, I am Yours
Be born in me
Be born in me
I'll hold you in the beginning
You will hold me in the end
Every moment in the middle
Make my heart your Bethlehem
Be born in me
Be born in me
