Kristian Stanfill's song is a heartfelt prayer of vulnerability and surrender. The singer admits to being tired of hiding and pretending, and decides to drop all defenses before God. He asks God to break through every wall around his heart, so that he can be truly known and in turn know God more deeply. The lyrics emphasize God's patient kindness and love, which draw the singer close. The repeated affirmation 'You are love and I am the one You love' reinforces the theme of God's personal, unconditional love. The song is a gentle invitation to authenticity and intimacy with God.

Lord I'm tired, from all this hiding
Lord I'm weary, from my pretending
So if the real me is what You're wanting
All my running, it has to end
I'll take down all my defenses
And I'll let down my guard
Let You break through every pretense
Every wall around my heart
I'll show You who I really am
So You can, show me who You really are
No frustration, only patience
Lord your kindness, it draws me close
The more I know You, the more I want to
With you Jesus, my heart is home
I'll take down all my defenses
And I'll let down my guard
Let You break through every pretense
Every wall around my heart
I'll show You who I really am
So You can, show me who You really are
You are love and I am the one You love
You are love and I am the one You love
You are love and I am the one You love
You are love and I am the one You love
Oh, you are love and I am the one You love
You are love and I am the one You love
I'll take down all my defenses
And I'll let down my guard
Let You break through every pretense
Every wall around my heart
I'll show You who I really am
So You can, show me who You really are
I'll show You who I really am
So You can, show me who You really are
